Thread: how the heck do i point to this?

How can i create a pointer to
_class.lpfnWndProc
where the variable lpfnWndProc is of type:
long (__stdcall ** )(struct HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)
?
I've tried a number of approaches and i've hit the wall, can anyone help me? thanks.

i believe thats a pointer to a pointer to a function which takes four parameters: a pointer to a HWND__ struct, two unsigned ints, and a long. my question is, WHY do you want a third level of indirection????!?!?!?!?!?

>>third level of indirection

i'm creating a header file that makes it easier for newb's to code windows, those hungarian variables aren't very descriptive, so i've made pointers like:
WindowInstance * WindowInstanceName=&_class.hInstance;
etc.

plus i personally hate using hungarian

i've gotten the program to work for every one being pointed to except for this one.

Code:

typedef long **(__stdcall::*WindowsProcedureName)(struct HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long);
WindowsProcedureName=&_class.lpfnWndProc;

ok, i can't visually pick this apart right now cause my head is killing me. I get the errors:

thanks again everyone

ok sorry to sound ignorant, but i haven't used classes much... so that's probably why i'm lost here.
Here's what I've done....still lost mind you, can you please help me out? thanks much.

Code:

class AntiHungarian;

//below lines are messed up 
typedef long **(AntiHungarian::*WindowsProcedureName)(struct HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long);
WindowsProcedureName=&_class.lpfnWndProc;

Is the function being pointed to a static member?

This might help

>>Is the function being pointed to a static member?
I'm trying to create a pointer to a member variable of the
WNDCLASSW struct (well, an instance of that struct i've made called _class).

so it's not a function...I'm thinking perhaps my logic is screwed up that way as well....oh boy i need a vacation.
