why the error message error:illegal call of non-static member func
hello,
I have written my own function to perform some operation.I call it
from thread i have created in my program.But on compilation it gives the
following error
error:illegal call of non-static member function.
why such an error comes?Does it have to do with calling the function from a
thread?This is what i think?.
When i declared the function as static it worked fine....
Can i know what was exactly going wrong and if i don't want it to be static
what is the other solution?
Please help

If you wish to use or call a nonstatic function you must pass the object pointer to the thread, and use that to access the nonstatic function. -- Scott McPhillips [VC++ MVP]

Threads are a lot like global functions and it seems as though you're calling
a function from some sort of class not declared in the thread. You're likely
going to have to use windows messages to communicate with the thread (search
for it on msdn) or declare that class globally.
ie.
MyClass myClass;
bool AppFunction(){
...
}
thread {
}
as opposed to "MyClass myClass;" being written within another funtion or
class.
Hope that helps.. threads are kind of tricky to learn.

Rob3660That's what the compiler should say. A static member function has no access to any
instance of the class, and consequently a member function which requires a class instance
will not compile.
class Whatever : public Something {
protected:
void SomeMethod();
static UINT MyThreadFunction(LPVOID p);
};
/* static */ UINT Whatever::MyThreadFunction(LPVOID p)
{
SomeMethod();
return 0;
}
Note that to call SomeMethod, you have to have an instance of the class Whatever. There
is no instance of the class Whatever in MyThreadFunction, hence the complaint.
There are a couple solutions, depending on what you are trying to accomplish. If
SomeMethod does not require access to any class methods or variables, you can make
SomeMethod static as well. However, if it requires access to member variables or methods,
then it requires access to a particular instance of Whatever to get the appropriate class
members or to call other methods, you will need to pass in a pointer to the class:
AfxBeginThread(MyThreadFunction, this);
is the most common paradigm. In the thread, you will do
/* static */ UINT Whatever::MyThreadFunction(LPVOID p)
{
Whatever * w = (Whatever *) p;
// then you can write
w->SomeMethod();
...
}
Note that the most common case is that Whatever is a derived class from some CWnd class.
In such a case, you must (a) not manipulate any aspect of the CWnd associated with 'this',
that is, no SetWindowText, etc. Only PostMessage can be used (it doesn't manipulate the
window, only the message queue) and (b) if any variable can be accessed concurrently by
the worker thread and the GUI thread you must provide explicit synchronization to make
sure there are no problems (try to avoid doing this!). See my essay on worker threads on
my MVP Tips site for more details.

When I bring up Outlook Express, I'm receiving the following error message: Cannot delete ntuser.dat: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again. This just started happening in the past few days. Outlook is the 1st thing (and only program that I know of) that is running.

Font size when composing new message.....
Hi there, I changed my font options in the Tools Menu and it does not seem to help. When I am composing a new message, my font and signature , which includes a business card, is huge!!!! And also when I pick a theme for stationary that i had put on there, it is huge too! You can't see it all! What is going on, anybody? Thanks for any help!!

For Outlook 2003 and older, with the email open, click on View - Zoo...
Sorting messages by Subject
Somthing interesting in Outlook. When you select a message and then try to sort messages by subject by clicking on the subject column, the message you originally chose is no longer selected.

The message you originally chose before the sort by these fields still remains selected. Is there any workaround to this? We have installed Office SP1. Thanks, Marita ...

Close Outlook Select Start | Run Enter Outlook.exe /Safe Select OK Select Tools | Options | Other | Advanced Options | Add-In Manager Uncheck any Symantec add-in...
XML error "Some Data Was Imported As Text"
Daily, I recieve a 3rd party XML file that I parse in Excel (using an excel macro) and then import into an Access database. Infrequently, the data will import into Excel, then parse and then the routine stops with the error message above. I look through the raw XML file and everything appears to be within the brackets, etc. Can someone give me some clarification to the meaning of the error message? Thanks in advance and Mery Christmas and Happy Holidays! The error message might be generated within your macro - as it is parsing the data it might detect that some field which should be ...
iis smtp service messages stuck in queue
When I try to send email from the smtp service in iis on my workstation the messges get stuck in the queue. The even log shows ID 4000 Message delivery to the remote domain 'hotmail.com' failed for the following reason: The connection was dropped by the remote host. This occurs whether I'm trying to send to an outside address as above or to an account on my exchange server. This behaviour began after I migrated from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003. We also upgraded AD to 2003 at this time. Thanks for your help, Hugh Did you test name resolution? can you find hotmail.com using ns...
