First: you google the Microsoft reference documentation.

To start some function with parameter you can use a wrapper function like that:

C++

void coolTheadFunc( void* data){
 //prepare the param
  DataStruct*params = (DataStruct*) data;
  myFunctionWithParams( ...);
}

After clicking a while you would had found this example as jeron did.

KarstenK answered question 2.

Your first question is a bit vague.

The return type of a ThreadProc is DWORD. It is not void.

ThreadProc callback function (Windows)[^]

If you are referring to the ThreadProc parameter, it is a pointer to void. As long as your function's parameter is a pointer, you can type cast the function to a ThreadProc.
