I am attempting to compile a multitasking program, exactly following the example given in the MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0, under "Multithreading: Creating Worker Threads." However, the compiler gives the following: "error C2665: 'AfxBeginThread' : none of the 2 overloads can convert papameter 1 from type 'unsigned int (void *)'. Yet this is exactly the type recommended; even the compiler's macro, AFX_THREADPROC, is a conversion to this same type. What type does it want; what is it trying to convert TO? Thanks in advance.

I dunno; I always thought it was
unsigned int func(void* pParam);
I doublechecked the MSDN reference; sure enough:

"pfnThreadProc
Points to the controlling function for the worker thread. Cannot be NULL. This function must be declared as follows:
UINT MyControllingFunction( LPVOID pParam );
