Passing managed callback class to unmanaged code

I have an unmanaged library that can accept an instance of an abstract
class and call back into it. I'm writing a wrapper for this library.

How do I wrap a managed callback in a class derived from the unmanaged
class to pass to the library?

I tried creating a managed class that carries an unmanaged callback class
which calls back into the managed class, but I can't put a handle to the
unmanaged class in the unmanaged class. (I get C3265.) So how does the
unmanaged wrapper carry something to let it call up into the managed code?

As usual, no sooner do I frame the question than I find the answer. In this
case, it's the gcroot template class.

I have one unmanaged and one managed class in the same vc++ project. Managed object creates one instance of unmanaged class and needs to pass a callback reference so that unmanaged class can periodically call the managed class's method (without holding the reference to the managed object). Can anybody please provide me with a short example or a basic idea? Thanks a lot, Sasha

Hi, I have an unmanaged application that converts a function pointer to a delegate and then pass this as a parameter(delegate) to a managed function which then invokes it. Currently Im able to jump to this unmanaged function, but the values of the parameters inside this function Im seeing are not correct(they have some garbage values). //unmanaged class (C++ application)

I have a native C++ API which I am currently wrapping in managed C++ in order to expose the API to .Net clients. So far, so good, everything is working out just fine. However, I have ventured into the callback portion of the API and I am stumped. In the native API, the callback...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
