Function pointers as function arguments
Author
How can I use function pointers in an function call? I need to give the address of some function to one of my classes.
Thnx,

class CClass{protected: char *(*pointer_to_the_function)(HWND,int,long);//any parametrs and return typespublic: void SetFunctionPointer(char *(*some_name)(HWND,int,long));}void CClass::SetFunctionPointer(char *(*some_name)(HWND,int,long)){ //assigns the pointer given as a parametr to the pointer //we have declared as a member variable pointer_to_the_function=some_name;} Hope it hepls. Of course, the parametrs and return values could vary
this "should" work:
I hope this helps
//MyClass.hclass MyClass{protected:void (*SomeFuncPtr)();void (*SomeOtherFuncPtr)(int i, int j);public:void SetSomeFuncPtr(void (*ptr)()) { SomeFuncPtr = ptr; }void SetSomeOtherFuncPtr(void (*ptr)(int i, int j)) { SomeOtherFuncPtr = ptr; }void CallSFPtr() { SomeFuncPtr(); }void CallSOFPtr(int i, int j) { SomeOtherFuncPtr(i, j); }};//main.cpp#include "MyClass.h"void MyFunc(){//do something}int MyFunc2(int i, int j){//do somethingreturn 1;}void main(){MyClass mc;mc.SetSomeFuncPtr(MyFunc);mc.SetSomeOtherFuncPtr(MyFunc2);mc.CallSFPtr();mc.CallSOFPtr();} I hope this helps
NOTE: when passing function pointers as parameters i suggest you specify the call type.
i.e.
__cdecl
__stdcall
__thiscall
__fastcall
this will save you headache in the long run....

And how would I do this with my WinProc(The function to handle the Windows Events)? I tried this:
Error: WINDOWCLASS.H(48,27):Cannot convert 'long * (*)(HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)' to 'long (__stdcall *)(HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)'
What's the problem with this code?

class CWindowClass{ ... LRESULT *(*WinProc) (HWND Hwnd, UINT Msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);};//In source to assign it to the WinClass(WNDCLASSEX type):WinClass.lpfnWndProc = WinProc; Error: WINDOWCLASS.H(48,27):Cannot convert 'long * (*)(HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)' to 'long (__stdcall *)(HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)'

exactly what i was talking about. j/k.
but anyway, there error message is actually pretty informative.
Edit: the default calling convention is "__cdecl" and Windows procedures are "CALLBACK --> __stdcall".
