Change your priority to THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE instead of the default which is normal. That'll lower the thread priority so it won't take your system with it. The command would be: CWinThread * threadptr = AfxBeginThread( pfnThreadProc, // thread function pParam, // pointer to data to use THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE, // the idle priority, was THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL 0, // stack size, 0 means default size 0, // create and run immediately, don't suspend on creation NULL // no security attributes );

When the compiler compiles a cpp file it starts at the top and works it's way down. If it finds an identifier (variable or function) that was not declared in a line above the current line it will generate this error. What you have to do is either insert a forward declaration of your function at the top of your cpp file (header files are a good way to do this), or move your function to a point in the file before the line that caused the error.

Your MyThreadProc need to be static. And you only need to call like AfxBeginThread(MyThreadProc,(LPVOID)this,0); E.g CWinThread* pThread = AfxBeginThread (ThreadFunc, lpVoid, THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL, 0, CREATE_SUSPENDED); ASSERT (NULL != pThread); pThread->m_bAutoDelete = FALSE; pThread->ResumeThread (); By the way, make sure you protect the variables that you are accessing in the 'this ' in the thread by using those synchronization classes like CMutex, Interlock functions and etc. Sonork 100.41263:Anthony_Yio
