Re: [Boost-users] Connecting Windows Messages/Events with Boost callbacks

Yes, exactly. Windows messages (I want to avoid having to write long case statements in message loops) - that's what I mean. I'd be thankful if anyone could point me to the right direction.

// pseudo-code! // Lets say it's a botton; switch(message) { case WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK: onDoubleClick(message); break; //... }; // member function void onDoubleClick(Message message) { doSomething(message); onDoubleClick_(arg1, arg2); } // member boost::signals2::signal onDoubleClick_; Now multiple listeners of your button can connect the signal: struct Handler { void onDoubleClick(Arg1 a1, Arg2 a2); }; button->onDoubleClick.connect(boost::bind(&Handler::onDoubleClick, handler, _1, _2)); This's only a sketch, in real code hou have to care about proper encapsulation, appropriate arguments etc.
