Threads, Method pointers

[Micahel Ribbons]

To start a new thread you pass CreateThread the address of a function to
start processing at.
How can I pass the address of a method of an object? EG @oMyObject:Method()?

Is this unsafe?

Michael, you can't and you shouldn't. Multithreading and OOP are
different animals, you are better off not mixing them. What are trying to
do?
If you need to launch a thread within a method, you can do it. But you
don't pass the address of the method. Instead you write a strong-typed
function declared AS DWORD or AS LONG (STRICT) and within your method you
make a call to CreateThread(), or better CreateVOThread(), passing the
address of that function. Within the function you do the processing you
need, taking precautions described in CAVO Help/How To section.
