creating threads with arguements
Author
I jsut realized that in all the CreateThread functions I have seen there are no arguement paranthasesis... yeah
well anyway, I need to start a thread with arguements. Does anyone know how to do this?
There''s a DWORD argument which gets passed to your thread proc. set that to be a pointer to a structure with whatever data you need.
why not create a data structure with your data and simply read it from the thread when you create it?

Okay so say I wanted to pass a value X which I get from the function it is called in, and used which tells me which thread handle to use. (I use a function to find the next open one)
and do I just do a regular pointer for the arguement? Or does it have to be a struct?
Are all arguements passed by reference always?
