Whatever you pass as the 4th param to _beginthreadex will be the "params" param in your threadprocess. Mark

error C2664: '_beginthreadex' : cannot convert parameter 4 from 'std::string' to 'void *' If i can get this working i can mod my app quite a bit and do many more functions much more efficiently...

A 'std::string is not a pointer. The size of the parameter passed is the size of a pointer so that's the largest object you can pass. Maybe passing the address of your 'std::string' will work. You'll have to cast it back to a pointer to a std::string in your threadproc. See DavidCrow's reply. Mark

ic that appears to be working but i need to have the char s to be used right after the threadprocess completes... which is modified inside threadprocess... see what i mean..

If you are creating a secondary thread, and then just waiting for it to complete, why bother creating it? In any case, you'll need to implement some sort of synchronization object.

cause i want to have it on a separate thread because it will serv up to 3-10 diff functions each function must be able to operate simultaniously.. eg... it will execute 1-10 threads at once per motherthread and wait for return here... plus i need to use this thread outside the motherthread so its used all over the freeking app.... I have the threads part setup and it will work.. but i have to have the return on that variable.. could be a socket in some other thread some other time... believe me there are networking situations where this is required... i see what your saying i could do it another way with limited function... but i will save days of programing/debugging.. I tell you what you contact me via email and ill send you my app what ive got here... darkcloud.42o@gmail.com -- modified at 17:10 Thursday 22nd March, 2007

This code leaks the thread
HANDLE. From MSDN: "the handle returned by _beginthreadex has to be closed by the caller of _beginthreadex". If you don't need theHANDLEmake your code look soemthing like this:HANDLE hThread = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, threadprocess, NULL, 0, &sid);
CloseHandle(hThread);Note that closing the
HANDLEdoesn't terminate the thread. You may want to add error checking which I didn't include in my example.Steve

Hey if you can convert a handle to socket.. it would work... is it possible...

Ok so i got the variable passed to child threads and they can function.. but i need to pass more than 1 variable to the thread char* s and SOCKET ls; lets not worry about the return on the child thread right now.... if i can 2 variables passed the whole process can be done inside child thread.. but one question... about that.. unsigned __stdcall test(void* params){ return 3; ) this return here how can i axs that??? can i access a process like int test(){ return 0; } be accessed from open threads at the same time? btw rigth now its FTP/WEB SERVER with Advanced custom admin functions with GUI. -- modified at 12:40 Friday 23rd March, 2007
