Trouble with Fl::add_timeout

ehump20 · #1 02-Mar-2008, 15:24

I'm having trouble with Fl:add_timeout doing what I want to do.

CPP / C++ / C Code:

void callback(void*) {
      puts("TICK");
      Fl::repeat_timeout(1.0, callback);
    }

    int main() {
      Fl::add_timeout(1.0, callback);
      return Fl::run();
    }

Whenever I put the Fl::add_timeout in the same file as main like the code above, it works just fine and the callback can do whatever I want. However, whenever I create a different class and try to put fl::add_timeout in the functions, I get errors saying the callback needs to be static. So I do this:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

static void myClass::callback(void*) {
      //Want to perform actions here
    }

void myClass::doSomething(){
Fl::add_timeout(3.0,callback);
}

However, because callback is now static, I cannot call other functions within the class, which is want I want to do. Is there any way I can do this?
