C++\CLI ThreadStart

I was reading a tutorial about multi-threading. However, the tutorial is written in C#. My application, unfortunately, is written in C++\CLI. I would like to know the equivalent code in C++\CLI of the following C# code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread backgroundThread = new Thread(
    new ThreadStart(() =>
    {
        Thread.Sleep(5000);
        MessageBox.Show("Thread completed!");
    }
));
backgroundThread.Start();
}

This C# code uses LINQ, which confuses me (I'm new to programming).

Update: I want to make a progress bar that can show the progress of the calculation of a huge loop, which calculates combinations. The application is frozen when calculating the loop, and that's why I need multi-threading.

Thanks in advance.

The equivalent C++/CLI code is the following:

void WorkCompleted()
{
    Thread::Sleep(5000);
    MessageBox::Show("Thread completed!");

}
void button1_Click(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) 
{
    Thread^ backgroundThread = gcnew Thread(gcnew ThreadStart(this, &Form1::WorkCompleted));
    backgroundThread->Start();
}
