Running code in it's own thread?

Hi, I found some code for playing MP3s using DirectShow (and C++). Only problem is that it needs to play in a different thread. How do you make a function/class run in a different thread?

You will need a threading library, whether it is the standard win32 stuff or boost or one of the probably dozens of others. I recommend boost. Check www.boost.org

It may be that you are confused over this, DirectShow uses lots of other threads for doing what it does and very rarely do you have to think about creating them yourself. Although without seeing your code I can't be sure of this.

Kind regards,
