well if u don't know much threading then you are same as i was a month back. For threading search codeproject articles ( i don't have collection of it to tell you). any way i will paste my code here if you can make sense out of it.
//defined in CMainFrame class

//this type of threading is used forcalling a member function in a seperate thread
//This thread function calls a member function FunctionClients of class MainFrm

pThreadParam->FunctionClients();
return 1;
}

0, // Initial thread stack size, in bytes
PseudoThreadFunction,
this, // The argument for the new thread is a pointer to your MyThread
0, // Creation flags
&dwThreadID ); // Pointer to returned thread identifier
}
catch( CException* /* pException */ )

return false;
