You are using an automatic variable sent from VB call. That variable, and the string contente, will be destroyed after the function that create the thread returns. The thread instead will be running and looking for the string at the address that you passed in the thread creation, but that address holds only garbage by then...
To make it work create a local string in your code and define it 'static', copy the passed string there, then create the thread.
C++
void __stdcall StartThread(LPCSTR flt)
{ 
HANDLE hThread;
static char *szStaticString[MAX_PATH];
strncpy(szStaticString, flt, MAX_PATH-1);
hThread = CreateThread(NULL, 0, ThreadFunc, 
(void *)szStaticString, 0, NULL);

CloseHandle(hThread);
}
