it calls a Windows API. One of the argument of the windows API is a callback function. Naturally this callback function has to be a *non member* function. Is there any way by which I can pass a *member* function in the place of callback function. I heard about boost::bind, with bind is it possible?
The key question is: does the Windows function also accept, and pass to your callback, a void* data pointer so you can supply the callback function with arbitrary data? (That idiom is quite common with classic C callbacks.) If so, there are a number of different ways to get what you want here. Please see the attached, which compiles and runs for me.
