Member Functions as Thread Procs

Is there any way to specify a class member function as the thread procedure in calls such as beginthreadex() or CreateThread()?

Yes, but they must be static member functions............

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>

class foobar{
public:
        static DWORD WINAPI ThreadProc(LPVOID);
};

DWORD WINAPI foobar::ThreadProc(LPVOID lpv){
        std::cout << static_cast<char*>(lpv);
        return 0;
}


int main(void){

       

        DWORD dwDummy;
        HANDLE hHand;
        char str[] = "Hello World";

        hHand = CreateThread(0,0,&foobar::ThreadProc,
                static_cast<LPVOID>(str),0,&dwDummy);   
               
        WaitForSingleObject(hHand,INFINITE);

};

Thanks for the response. I'm guessing there is absolutely no way to accomplish this with non-static member functions?

Right.
