hi im trying to write a sorta windows emulator, and i got a class, cWindow, and it has a member function pointer: void (*ProcName)() however, this function will obviously be unable to use private class members... wc.ProcName = blah the compiler wont allow access to members because the function pointed to isnt necessarily a member or freind of the class. how can i get around this?

well you need to get the index number of the function in the vtable
and i hope this function is a virtual one
otherwise derive the class and override that function

now click here!
and i hope it will help you
good luck!

Borland added this feature to C++ Builder because it was sadly lacking in C++. They added the __closure directive so that you could declare function pointers that were actually methods of a class. A damned good idea that started in Delphi, was added to C++ Builder and will hopefully be added to the C++ standard in the near future. All other methods I have seen so far of calling methods from a function pointer are just clever hacks.
