Multiple markers at this line with RThread

[gigglie]

I am trying to create an RThread object in my AppUi but my compiler is giving me the following error message . Please help .

Multiple Markers at ths line

Consider re-reading what TThreadFunction is. It is not a return type, it defines how the thread function should look like.

typedef TInt(* TThreadFunction)(TAny*);

The green(lime) part shows that it is a function pointer, imagine RunTicker there (replacing the full string), and remove the typedef:

static TInt RunTicker(TAny *aAny);

should appear in the header file (note the static: thread can not run "inside" an object, it has to be a global function)
- so the "this" references will not work
- unfortunately the whole concept will not work, since accessing the GUI part of your application directly from a secondary thread is not possible, CONE is designed to be used from a single thread.
