How to bind ordinary function? Topic is solved

[Tapsa]

How can I use this when I have no need for the event variable?

Code: Select all

void wxEvtHandler::Bind(const EventTag &eventType, Functor functor)

The only way I have achieved this is by using lambdas.
How do I simply put any normal member function as the second argument?

Use a lambda to call your function that does not need the event variable. Otherwise you can only bind to a function that takes an event as parameter (which AFAIR is needed by a lambda too, isn't it?).

A "normal member function" is not a functor. You can read more about it at Dynamic Event Handling, search for "bind to an arbitrary functor".

Ty. So not really doable in the way I thought.

Uh? Did I understand you well? Look at this sample in the docs:

Code: Select all

void HandleExit( wxCommandEvent & )
{
    // Do something useful
}
MyFrame::MyFrame()
{
    Bind( wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, &HandleExit, wxID_EXIT );

There's no lamba there. There's no wxEventHandler-derived function.

If you don't use the event variable you can avoid it at your handler:

Code: Select all

void HandleExit(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(evnt))

I don't think anybody said anything about "wxEventHandler-derived function".
