Lambda does not and will not compile on MSVC until MSVC 7.1 is released (I'm told that it does work in this environment).

wow, thanks for the quick reply! ah ok, guess I'll have to wait for their update. by the way, I read most of the lambda lib doc, but I was wondering if it works just like a lambda expression in other languages like lisp... fairly simple use: I have a Dialog class with a close() method and a Button class with a on_click event (which I guess would be the lambda function), and I'd like my button object to close the dialog.. so that I'd have.. class mydialog : public virtual Dialog { public: Dialog() { mybutton.on_click = lambda({this->close();}); } .... protected: Button mybutton; }; so I guess that lambda(...) part would actually be: bind(this, Dialog::close) ? I guess my real question is, does the LL support closures in the sense that I can use all bound variables at the time of the lambda definition and create an in-place function, or is that too much to ask of c++? I'm trying to emulate something like internal variable this from a PLT Scheme dialog class: (define edit-btn (make-object button% ; class "Edit Painting" ; label this ; parent (lambda (obj event) ; on-click proc (send controller edit-view))))
