I'm using following statement to create a new thread,

AfxBeginThread(SocketConnection,this);

Method to be invoked

UINT SocketConnection(LPVOID pParam)
{
return 0;
}

But i'm getting the following error message; whats wrong with my code how to resolve it

'AfxBeginThread' : none of the 2 overloads can convert parameter 1 from type 'UINT (LPVOID)'

Have you defined the Thread function SocketConnection in the header file of the class.
If yes remove the function declaration in the header file and then try and compile your code.

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

No it says UnDeclare Identifier

AfxBeginThread(SocketConnection,this);

UINT static SocketConnection(LPVOID pParam)
{
return 0;
}

Error Message

error C2065: 'SocketConnection' : undeclared identifier

Your need to define the function before you call this . SO check it.

Actually Class Function which is going to used as Thread, is decalred as STATIC to save it from Object Boundation!

If Function Declared In Class is going to used at Thread, then it declared Static otherwise not

The definition function for the function SocketConnection should be at the top of the file if it's not declared before the AfxBeginThread statement.

//write this function first
UINT SocketConnection(LPVOID pParam)
{
return 0;
}
 

void CSomeClass::SomeMethod()
{ 
  //and then this
  AfxBeginThread(SocketConnection,this);
}

You are right Nibu. This is allowed in C++, but not in C.

It's allowed only if you have a declaration before the function is referenced.

Here is my small issue

SocketThread = AfxBeginThread(ReceiveMessage,this);

UINT static ReceiveMessage(LPVOID pParam)
{
return 0;
}

Since i'm not defining this class inside the Header file i'm not able to access any controls and its values. Previously i had as like below

strSocketData.SetWindowText (strResult);
//strSocketData is a control variable.

How can i access it in my "ReceiveMessage" method.

   CYourDlg* pYourDlg = reinterpret_cast< CYourDlg* >( pParam );
   pYourDlg->strSocketData.SetWindowText( pYourDlg->strResult );
}
 
SocketThread = AfxBeginThread(ReceiveMessage,this);

Hope this helps? Unsure | :~

Yes it sounds Good... i can able to read and write data.

Shall use this?. Is it it advisable?. Make sure i'm using it in MFC Activex control. You mentioned that it is not safe is there anyother alternate.

CYourDlg* pYourDlg = reinterpret_cast< CYourDlg* >( pParam ); pYourDlg->strSocketData.SetWindowText( pYourDlg->strResult );

Well did it work? Sniff | :^)

No it's not at all thread safe to pass around MFC objects. Instead pass the HWND of your dialog. Then use SetDlgItemText to set the text for the item.

SetDlgItemText( hDialog, IDD_DIALOGCONTROL_ID, _T( "This is thread safe" ));

Well you cannot retrieve the strResult parameter too. To get around this store the buffer of strResult inside another pointer. Put both the handle to the dialog and the pointer to the buffer inside the struct and then pass this struct object to the thread.

DLL's can evolve (progress) into EXE's over the course of a project or the lifetime of the product. Generally the rate of change would be too slow to display in a progress bar.

That's what a progress bar is for. I must not understand your question.
