Hi,
I'm having a problem moving from C to C++.
In C, I have a function:
void display(void) {}
that I can register with OpenGL as a callback using:
GLUTAPI void glutDisplayFunc ( void (GLUTCALLBACK *func)(void) )
called like so:
glutDisplayFunc ( display );
My problem is when I move to C++ objects, I have a class with a member
function 'void display(void)', which I want to register like:
glutDisplayFunc ( this->display );
But I get the error (in MSVC++):
error C2664: 'glutDisplayFun c' : cannot convert parameter 1 from
'void (void)' to 'void (__cdecl *)(void)'
What is the correct way to do this?
Thanks,
Michael
You need to use 'static'. Much removed from the example below, but, should be
enough for you to get the idea.
