Threads - using functions from classes

I'm trying to create a new thread using _beginthread for a function which
is part of a class: code is..

_beginthread(wave1.loadfile, 0, NULL)

but VC++ complains that the type of the function passed is wrong - loadfile
is: void WavFile::loadfile(PVOID pvoid)

Any ideas?! TIA

Re: Threads - using functions from classes

you should declare LoadFile as a static member function. In addition,
pass its address as follows:

_beginthread(&WavFile::loadfile, 0, NULL)
