Me : "I can't pass the pointer of a class function to CreateThread"

Gambit : "Well, technically you can, but not easily.
	You would essentially have to use a proxy function
	in order to do it.  Using a static method is easier,
	though, especially since CreateThread() allows a
	user-defined value to be passed to the thread instance.
	That makes a proxy function unnecessary."

You got me thinking Gambit, how would you create a proxy function to 
make a call back of type 'void Do()' take a 'void myclass::Do()'?

Purely on a interest basis, I am not planning to do it at the moment.

I have looked on yahoo and google for this and I can't find anything useful.

Can you expand on what you mean Gambit or can someone else shed some 
light on this?

Cheers,
Alistair
