On previous programs I have accumulated the necessary objects into a
structure. Then I saw an example where the entire dialog was passed.
Who knew? :-)

Thanks,

Make the thread function static or global
Besides, DON'T pass your dialog object between threads. If you need some
data from the object, extract the data into a structure and pass the
structure instead. visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/147578 for more

I've moved the looping monitoring functionality of my most recent
program into a function that's declared as

UINT CFreeDiskSpaceDlg::MonitorLoop(LPVOID pParam) {
.
.
.
return 0;
}

The call to initiate the thread is....

MonitorThread = AfxBeginThread (MonitorLoop, (LPVOID) this);

However, compile, I get this error:

error C2665: 'AfxBeginThread' : none of the 2 overloads can convert
parameter 1 from type 'unsigned int (void *)'

on the line where I invoke the thread.

I've done this before with a couple of other programs. Yet this one
gives me an error where I can't find the mis-match.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Lilith
