That will not work.  You should change the Terminated parameter to take a
TService* pointer instead of a bool* pointer:

    void execute_cc2(TService *Service, TServiceThread *Thread)
    {
        while( !Service->Terminated )
        {
            //does stuff
            Sleep(10);
            Thread->ProcessRequests(false);
        }
    }

Even better, since TService has a public ServiceThread property, you can do
away with execute_cc2's Thread parameter altogether:

    void execute_cc2(TService *Service)
    {
        while( !Service->Terminated )
        {
            //does stuff
            Sleep(10);
            Service->ServiceThread->ProcessRequests(false);
        }
    }

> BTW... whats the difference between a "Property" and a variable then?

A property is not a variable.  It may happen to use a variable internally,
but it is actually a couple of getter/setter methods instead that perform
operations when invoked.  A variable is just a block of memory.  In your
original code, you were trying to take an address of a class method, not a
raw variable.
