Hi,

Nice to see you

Actually, I need to create an onClickButton() method.
Basically, this method do just that :

void GUIHandler::OnClickButton(const std::string &button, "callback")
{
     CEGUI::WindowManager *wmgr = CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingletonPtr();
     CEGUI::Window *Event = wmgr->getWindow(button);
     Event->subscribeEvent(CEGUI::PushButton::EventClicked, "callback");
}

But I don't know how to pass the callback. I want it to be cegui independant.
So I think that I must pass a pointer to a function. However, I don't know how to cast the pointer for subscribeevent().

Hope I've been clear

Bye
Charlie

Hi, and welcome

Your function signature must match this:

Code: Select all

bool myFunction(const CEGUI::EventArgs&)

If it's a free function, just pass it in:

Code: Select all

Event->subscribeEvent(CEGUI::PushButton::EventClicked, myFunction);

i.e. Free functions do not need to be cast to Event::Subscriber or anything like that.

ok thanks for the answer

Is there any way to remove or change the argument of the function ?
I know you said "must match" but may be... I don't know :roll:

Derive your own class from EventArgs. Have your derived class take in your callback. When firing the event, use your derived class.

Then, when handling event, cast the EventArgs to your derived class and grab your callback and do whatever it is you are going to do.

and use dynamic_cast to do so and cast std::bad_cast exceptions. Just to have robust code.
