Hey all, Ill just post the code and the error first:

// WindyLib.cpp : Defines the entry point for the application.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "windy.h"
#include "msg.h"


// Foward declarations of functions included in this code module:
class MyApp : public WindyApp , public MsgSlot {
public:

 void sayHello() { WindyApp::messageBox("hello"); }

 virtual void OnBegin() {
  CommandMsgSlot *msg = new CommandMsgSlot( &MyApp::sayHello) );

  Wnd* w= new Wnd("My Window");
  if (!w->createEx( WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,"The title of my
window",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 240, 120,NULL,
NULL, WindyApp::globalInstance, NULL))
   WindyApp::messageBox(WindyApp::getLastError() );
  //w->addHandler(WM_LBUTTONDOWN, );
  w->showWindow(true);

 }



};


int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPSTR     lpCmdLine,
                     int       nCmdShow)
{
  // TODO: Place code here.


 MyApp app;
 app.run();

 return 0;
}



The error :

C:\Projects\Windy\VC\WindyLib\WindyLib.cpp(16) : error C2664: '__thiscall
CommandMsgSlot::CommandMsgSlot(void (__thiscall MsgSlot::*)(void))' : cannot
convert parameter 1 from 'void (__thiscall MyApp::*)(void)' to 'void
(__thiscall MsgSlot::*)(void)
'
        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires
reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast


My Question is how can I cast MyApp::functionPointer to MsgSlot::function
pointer ??  MyApp is derived from MsgSlot.

Thanks!
