How do you pass a member function pointer?

by

To call a member function by pointer, you need two things: A pointer to the object and a pointer to the function. You need both in MenuButton::SetButton()

template <class object>
void MenuButton::SetButton(int xPos, int yPos, LPCWSTR normalFilePath,
        LPCWSTR hoverFilePath, LPCWSTR pressedFilePath,
        int Width, int Height, object *ButtonObj, void (object::*ButtonFunc)())
{
  BUTTON::SetButton(xPos, yPos, normalFilePath, hoverFilePath, pressedFilePath, Width, Height);

  this->ButtonObj = ButtonObj;
  this->ButtonFunc = ButtonFunc;
}

Then you can invoke the function using both pointers:

((ButtonObj)->*(ButtonFunc))();

Don’t forget to pass the pointer to your object to MenuButton::SetButton():

testMenu::testMenu()
  :MenuScreen("testMenu")
{
  x.SetButton(100,100,TEXT("buttonNormal.png"), TEXT("buttonHover.png"),
        TEXT("buttonPressed.png"), 100, 40, this, test2);
  draw = false;
}
