Passing arguments to a worker thread function

[gecool]

Hi everyone:->. I need to pass some arguments to a worker thread function (VC++), but i don't know how to do that ... the MSDN says : UINT MyControllingFunction( LPVOID pParam ), but I need to pass to MyControllingFunction other parameters too. If anyone can help, please do it.:)

The LPVOID pParam should be set to point to a structure that contains all of the parameters that you wish to pass. Is this what you need? :) Chris Meech I am Canadian.

I demonstrate by passing your Class pointer to your Worker thread. Let your class be CMyClass and Worker thread function something like this

[vccode]
// Thread function
UINT MyControllingFunction( LPVOID pParam );

// Class
void CMyClass::StartThread();
{
AfxBeginThread(&MyControllingFunction,(LPVOID)this);

}

// Actual Defination of Worker Thread
UINT MyControllingFunction( LPVOID pParam )
{
CMyClass *pMainClass=(CMyClass*)pParam;
//do something with pMainClass.......

//end thread
return 0;
}
