Hello,

So far I have never used Threads... and to tell the truth I am rather confused about them.
My GUI app frezee while some operation last 2 or 3 seconds (perform calculation and writing on a sqlite database). This is rather annoying because it seems the app is going to crash.
So I thought to run a Thread for this operation and let the GUI to be free to use for other task. I hope this make sense.

The problem is that the compiler is complaining about Upp::callback, see below, that I do not understand (I used the GUI MT flag).

The function I would like to run in a thread ( SavePairing(num1, num2) ) is a member function of an external class called 'vegadb' and 'DB' is just an instance of vegadb. I tried without success:

Thread().Run( DB.SavePairing(num1, num2) );

Thread().Run( callback2( DB.SavePairing, num1, num2 ) );

Thread().Run( callback2( vegadb::SavePairing, num1, num2 ) );

I tried even callback3. Does anybody have a suggestion?
Thanks,
Luigi
