_beginthreadex static member function

Question

How do I create a thread routine of a static member function

class Blah
{
    static void WINAPI Start();
};

// .. 
// ...
// ....

hThread = (HANDLE)_beginthre         


        

Answer 1

Following is the compiling version:

class CBlah
{
public:
    static unsigned int WINAPI Start(void*)
    {
    return 0;
    }
};

int main()
{
    HANDLE hThread = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, &CBlah::Start, NULL, NULL, NULL);

    return 0;
}

Following are the changes required:

(1). Start() function should return unsigned int

(2). It should take a void* as the parameter.
