I have a following code for createing a thread. but it generate the error msg as:
error C2665: 'AfxBeginThread' : none of the 2 overloads could convert all the argument types

CWinThread* mpWinThread;
mpWinThread = AfxBeginThread(&CDataCapture::ThreadProc,NULL,0,0,NULL);

and ThreadProc function is as follow:

UINT ThreadProc(LPVOID pParam)
{
return 0;
}

I am not getting where is the actual problem.

Thanks,
Abhijit

Hello Abhijit,

As per your code snippet, ThreadProc is a global function and not the member of CDataCapture. Change the code snippet like this.

CWinThread* mpWinThread;
mpWinThread = AfxBeginThread(ThreadProc,NULL,0,0,NULL);

Regards,
Jijo.

It seems that the ThreadProc function is a member function of a class. You can't do that unless the function is static.

I didn't think you could...

But I know the function to read from this is GetPrivateProfileString / Int, so while looking for that function in msn, I stumble across:

MSDN wrote:

The GetPrivateProfileSection function retrieves all the keys and values for the specified section of an initialization file.

Also, GetPrivateProfileSectionNames.

I hope that helps!

I've just noticed you posted the same question four hours before. You really should have more patience! People volunteer to answer these questions. Asking the same one again in a short time is not helpful to you...

Hi
i am using a Text Control having caption as "SHOW" . i want to change to cursor when the user makes a mouse move over it . I am unable to do that .. Please provide the comments so that i can change the mouse from standard arrow to hand cursor.

You possibly need

SetClassLong(hTextWnd, GCL_HCURSOR, (LONG) LoadCursor(NULL,IDC_HAND));

see [^].

Wouldn't that replace all STATIC's cursors, rather than just one particular one?
