noobie: use virtual functions?
Author
im new to virtual functions(but i know how they work), wondering if anyone can help me with this:
Im trying to write a direct draw display class which contains a bunch of function pointers. Upon initialization to a particular res and bpp, it fills in the function pointers with (member)drawing functions of the appropriate bpp.
I cant get this to compile. i get type mismatches when i try to set the function pointers. seeing as virtul functions are all about function poitners, is there a better way to do this using inherited classes?
Id really appreciate any advice

I''m probably not the best to be answering this post but i''ll have a go...
Let me see if i''ve got this right, you have 1 function pointer per class that points to the member function that will draw at the orrect bit depth and res? In that case, why do you need/want to use virtual functions? Since you don''t seem to be accessing the class through a base pointer there seems little need for it.
The mismatch is probably just needs a cast to tip it in the right direction, post the code thats throwing up the error.

thanks for the replies ppl.
So how can i get the member function pointers to member functions going?
here''s my code:
class CDisplay
{
public:
void (*plotpixel)(int x, int y, int red, int green, int blue);
void plotpixel16(int x, int y, int red, int green, int blue);
};
later in the init member function of CDisplay,
plotpixel = plotpixel16; //<-- error
the error it gives me is
= cant convert from (__thiscall CDisplay::*)(int,int,int,int,int)
to (__cdecl *)(int,int,int,int,int)
__cdecl? got me.
that article that article that sabreman posted is about non-member function pointers to member functions. im confused

Woo!! did a little messing and found another error that i had made. it works if i use (CDisplay::* plotpixel)(int...) instead.
Woo!! thanks you two

No it''s not. You can''t have a non-member function pointer point to a member function. There is no conversion. Read it again, and pay particular attention to this.
