Boost Threads & WxWidgets Topic is solved

[calm]

Hello

I am trying to launch a boost thread calling a function.

Code: Select all

boost::thread athread( TheProject::thefunction
 , thevalue );

Any idea how I can get this to work?
It's not an issue on a non wxwidgets function, so I am lacking a pointer or something. Unsure but please any help is of great use. Thank you.

The issue is generating

no matching function for call to `boost::thread::thread(<unknown type>, wxString&)

If that helps out with this.

Moved because this is linked to boost, not wx

I guess in a sense yes.
It's the wx function that I can't call though.

a standard void function() executes in the tread just fine.
Not a function derived from the wx class though.

If it's a memberfunction your're calling, you need to take into consideration that a member needs the pointer to it's instance.

Try this:

boost::thread athread(boost::bind(&TheProject::thefunction, ptrToInstance, thevalue));

ptrToInstance is the this-pointer from the class

Thank you

Just need this in place of the ptrToInstance. Perfect.
