Function pointers in C++

Viewed 265

I used CreateThread function to write a class like C# BackgroundWorker in C++.My code:

BackgroundWorker.h:

class BackgroundWorker
{
    private :
        HANDLE _threadHandle;
        unsigned int _threadCallcounter;
        DWORD _threadID;
    public:
        BackgroundWorker();
        ~BackgroundWorker();
        virtual DWORD WINAPI Function(LPVOID vpPram);
}

BackgroundWorker.cpp:

#include "BackgroundWorker.h"
void BackgroundWorker::DoWork()
{
    this->_threadHandle = CreateThread(NULL,
        0,this->Function,&this->_threadCallcounter,
        0, &this->_threadID); // !!!***This part throws an error***!!!
}

Then I created another class that derived from BackgroundWorker:

ListenThread.cpp:

class ListenThread :public BackgroundWorker
{
    DWORD WINAPI Function(LPVOID vpPram)
    {
        //DO somthing...
        return 0;
    }
};

But that line gives me the following error:

non - standard syntax; use '&' to create a pointer to member
