creating a thread HELP!

[jl3574]

i'm trying to create a thread in visual c++
i created a dialog project using Crecordview
in one of the buttons i'm trying to create and start a thread

i declare my thread globally my code is :

UINT thread( LPVOID nParam );//declare thread
.
.
.
void CRecordView::OnButtonFunction()
{
AfxBeginThread(thread,this);
}


UINT thread( LPVOID nParam )//definition
{
//some function here
return 0;
}

when i reach the onbuttonfunction it reads the line
AfxBeginThread(thread,this) but it never calls the thread?
i think i might have to create a CWindThread to run this but i'm not sure how? pls help!

i enter some code in the thread to put data in the database and it never enters that thread
and i tested otu the code else where and it runs.

i entered breakpoints and enter debug mode and it never enters that breakpoint

In a file "maindlg.cpp"

UINT thread(LPVOID lpParam){
	TRACE("thread: %d\r\n", ::GetCurrentThreadId());
	return 0;
}

then in the BOOL CMainDlg::OnInitDialog() (same file "maindlg.cpp&quot

	AfxBeginThread( thread, this);

The trace message is displayed successfully in the output window.
