This is defined behaviour as long as you always pass a non-NULL pointer
to myclass together with the function pointer &myclass::threadstub to
_beginthread.

Because there are some object lifetime issues and so on, there are
libraries like boost::thread that make your life easier. You should
think about using them.

Hi thanx,
I am able to create thread now. I have used a static function. Can
u tell me how to use the free function
to create thread.

You shouldn't really do that, a static member function does not have
required extern "C" linkage.

One simple solution is the changer your static member to a friend
function and declare it (before the class definition) extern "C".
