how do i create a thread with a class function?

The code below creates a thread on a global function (ReadChildOutpu t):

CreateThread(NU LL, 0, ReadChildOutput , (LPVOID)this, 0, &ThreadId);

How would I create a thread on a non-global function, assuming the
ReadChildOutput function were in the current class. This code illustrates
what I mean, but does not compile.

CreateThread(NU LL, 0, this->ReadChildOutpu t, NULL, 0, &ThreadId);

Thanks,
Chris

You have to use a "global" helper function. Pass the 'this' pointer as the
LPINFO parameter to CreateThread, and the address of the static function as
the start address. In the static function, cast the void* info into
CYourClass* and call the member function. From your example above, it looks
like you're already doing that.

Briefly, the problem is that all class instance functions have an
implicit "this" as a first (hidden) argument. Thus it simply won't
compile or be the right shape!
