Need help with Worker Thread Code

[Freddie Code]

I'm a newbee with MFC. I'm following this article on Worker Threads: http://www.codeproject.com/threads/usingworkerthreads.asp[^] With the following code I'm getting the following error. Any suggestions as to what is going on here? : error C2665: 'AfxBeginThread' : none of the 2 overloads can convert parameter 1 from type 'void (void)' // getcanmessages.cpp: implementation of the Cgetcanmessages class. // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #include "stdafx.h" #include "canmon.h" #include "getcanmessages.h" #ifdef _DEBUG #undef THIS_FILE static char THIS_FILE[]=__FILE__; #define new DEBUG_NEW #endif ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Construction/Destruction ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// static UINT run(LPVOID p); void run(); volatile BOOL running; Cgetcanmessages::Cgetcanmessages() { } Cgetcanmessages::~Cgetcanmessages() { } void Cgetcanmessages::gogetcan() { running = TRUE; AfxBeginThread(run, this); //<<<---this is the error line. } UINT Cgetcanmessages::run(LPVOID p) { Cgetcanmessages * me = (Cgetcanmessages *)p; me->run(); return 0; } void Cgetcanmessages::run() { //add worker tasks here. }

One is UINT run(LPVOID) and the other is void run(). Rename the void run() to anything else because the compiler is getting confused. this is this.
