Reef Angel Forum

Hey Everyone,

I'm getting confused and can't get this to work.
Is it possible to have a pointer to a function inside our own class?
The class in reference is the ReefAngelClass and function is FeedingModeStart();
Example: Maybe I'm going the wrong path....
So, let me give you an overview of what I'd like to do.
I'd like to have an array of function pointers that I can call by using the array reference.
Something like: This way I can call, for example: I know I can do this outside of the class, but how would I do this from within?
Anyone have any ideas?

I think you need to do this

myarray[0]();

But should be doable.

I don't think it would be any different than calling another function inside the class.

Outside the class it could still be called if it were public

ReefAngel.myarray[0]();

The problem is that I can't even get past the compiler
The compiler doesn't like the function to be inside of the class.
I get this error:
error: argument of type 'void (ReefAngelClass::)()' does not match 'void (*)()'
on this line:

Maybe define the typedef as

void (ReefAngelClass::*FunctPtr)()

Check this url for another example.

I had tried that already and gives me another error:
'FuncPtr' was not declared in this scope

Sorry...
My bad...
The error is this:
error: argument of type 'void (ReefAngelClass::)()' does not match 'void (ReefAngelClass::*)()'

And if I do this: I get this:
error: ISO C++ forbids taking the address of an unqualified or parenthesized non-static member function to form a pointer to member function. Say '&ReefAngelClass::FeedingModeStart'

I think I got it...
Thanks for that link. It led me to another one that pointed me to add the class in front of the function too.
Let me test it out

Try the suggestion

FuncPtr test=&ReefAngel::FeedingModeStart;

Cool saw your post after mine...
