Thread: Is it possible to have callback function as a class member?

Hi, all

I am writing a class that creates and maintains a window/control. The problem is that I can’t seem to give the class its own private callback function (the Window Procedure alias WndProc); the VC++ complier simply gives a type cast error when giving out the function pointer. I thought about why and I assume that the reason lies in the different structure between class functions and global functions. But is there a way to go round this, like force the compiler to construct the class function as a global function (assuming that’s the case)? If that’s not that the case, then why does the compiler give a type cast error? And is it possible to have callback function as a class member or at least give the class some sort of private callback function? And oh yes, I know I can use MFC but I simply prefer not, I want to know if can be done without its help.

Thanks in advance
