Hello,
Right now, I'm going to write a multithreading application. I work with the
function CreateThread. I know the meaning of all arguments, but what is the
meaning of the fourth parameter (LPVOID lpParameter)? For what reason is it
used and what value do I have to give this parameter?
Thank you,
Johan Machielse

A NULL value can be passed if no parameter is required to be passed
to the thread function.
Otherwise a structure can be passed by passing address of the structure
and this structure can be type casted to a structure pointer
inside the thread function and used.

You can pass information to the newly created thread.

Hi,
One common reason for using that paramater is to pass an object's "this" pointer to
a static thread starting function for a class. In this situation, the parameter
allows you to encapsulate a thread inside a class (since the thread function itself
can't be a non-static class member).
