How to suspend a thread which is in WaitSleepJoin state.

Hi All,

In following example, while playing file, if thread goes in WaitSleepJoin
state, due to Thread.Sleep method.
Now I want to suspend thread by clicking on cmdSuspend button. I have
written following code, which doesn't suspend it.
Even I tried it by calling m_PlayThread.Interrupt() method which suspends
the thread but cannot resume it again by calling Resume method.

Any kind help will be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards

Private m_IsStop As Boolean

Private sub PlayAudio()
m_IsStop = False
For intLoopCounter = 0 To m_intNoOfFiles
Try
m_objAudioRecorderPlayer.OpenFile(m_arrFiles(intLo opCounter))
m_objAudioRecorderPlayer.StartPlaying(m_lngPlayFro mTime,
m_lngPlayToTime)
m_PlayThread.Sleep(lngPlayToTime - lngPlayFromTime)
If m_IsStop Then
m_objAudioRecorderPlayer.CloseFile()
End If
Catch Ex As Exception
m_objAudioRecorderPlayer.CloseFile()
End Try
Loop
End Sub

Private Sub cmdPlay_Click(Sender As Object, ------)
