Thread: Multithreading in MFC and output

Hi all,
I have a read only edit box which i use as an output in my code

CString output

Now , I want to be able to start up a new thread and then write to output. I've set up a static function in my class

static UINT test_func(LPVOID pParam)

and function definition is

static UINT CTransmitterDlg::test_func(LPVOID pParam)

output+="in here\r\n";
return 1;


I call the test_func from another function by the following
AfxBeginThread(test_func,NULL);


However, I get compiler errors for all of this
error C2724: 'test_func' : 'static' should not be used on member functions defined at file scope
error C2597: illegal reference to data member 'CTransmitterDlg:utput' in a static member function


Does anyone know of a solution to this and/or some way that I can write to this output from a new thread. Thanks
Shav

It's ok all, I just let output be a global variable and it works fine. Thanks anyway
