use non-static member function as the objective function

[Martin MacRobert]

Yes you can. You can smuggle the address of a function pointer using a typedef.

eg.

 typedef  BOOL ( *_DoFill)(HDC hdc);
 _DoFill GradientFill;

GradientFill is a function pointer of type _DoFill.
You can pass GradientFill as a pointer to function. As long as you cast the
userdata to type _DoFill, you can invoke the function. The same holds true for
member functions as well. You should check a C++ text on using function
pointers for more detail.
