	#1  rainer.koecher.ok-automation 01:53 Nov 19, 2003	hello, I did a little work for testing with fltk. The toolkit looks very professional. But I'm missing one feature: I'd like to use function objects for callbacks instead of static member functions of classes. I think if you want to implement a object oriented system it's not good to have static member functions. Here is a little example of what i'm meaning. now callbacks work in that way: class Example{   void callback_function_i(FL_Button *bt, void *v)   {     // do something useful.   }   //v would be a pointer to "this"   static void callback_function(FL_Button *bt, void *v)   {     v->callback_function_i(bt, v);   }   public:     Example(){     //initialize the Window     } } i wold like to do this in that way: class callback{ public: void operator()(Fl_Button *bt, void *v) {   //  do something useful. } } class Example{   //define a callback object which operator() will be called.   callback button_callback;   public:     Example(){     //initialize the Window     } }

	#3  matt 14:50 Apr 22, 2008	This STR stands as a reminder for signaling and member callbacks
	#4  matt 16:40 Jan 14, 2023	This can not be solved as long as we insist on C++98. C++11 introduces lambdas with captures that solve this very easily.
