digitalmars.D - Function Pointers

Lets say I have a class..

class PIXEL
{
private:
int x, y;

public:
bit function() CallBack;
this()
{
this.CallBack = null;
}
void Set(int _x, int _y)
{
this.x = _x;
this.y = _y;
if(&this.CallBack != null)
{
this.CallBack();
}
}
};

Which I intend on (if connected) sending a notification to whatever I attach to
the callback that the value was changed.

And than I have another class, which has the actual function I want to set the
callback up to call...

class FOO
{
private:
update()
{
// update code
}
public:
PIXEL Pixel;
this()
{
this.Pixel = new PIXEL();
this.Pixel.CallBack = &this.update;
}
};

Why am I screwed? Cause the compiler says i have to make update() a static
function, however, I want update() to use the "this" operator...

Any way to work around this?

Any help is greatly appriciated.

Thanks,
Trevor Parscal

change this:
 bit function() CallBack;
to: bit delegate() CallBack and everything shall be fine -- Tomasz Stachowiak /+ a.k.a. h3r3tic +/

Thank YOU!!!! I feel stupid, but mostly thankful that you could answer my question. WHY is it the later at night it gets the less capable we are at solving simple problems? Thanks Again! Trevor Parscal www.trevorparscal.com trevorparscal hotmail.com
