    passing a callback as function parameter

    I have a dll that has a function that requires a callback to be pasted to it. But I get this error when I try it:

    Code:
    error: invalid conversion from `LRESULT' to `LRESULT (*)(HWND__*, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM)'
    This is the function decloration:

    Code:
    void Engine::WindowCreate(HINSTANCE hinst, LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure)
    Is it even possible to do what I want, if so how?

    Maybe you want:
    Code:
    void Engine::WindowCreate(HINSTANCE hinst, WNDPROC WindowProcedure)

    Right, well it expected a pointer to a function and WNDPROC is typedef'ed as:
    Code:
    typedef LRESULT (*WNDPROC)(HWND,UINT,WPARAM,LPARAM);
    But don't ask me how I found that out. I used it in one of my programs but I don't remember where I found it first :P
