The point here is that C++ objects dynamically allocate memory, which makes them unsuitable for this kind of program (I'm not sure about Object Pascal). Also, since they pass the hidden this/self pointer, you cannot pass a member function to the toolbox--they have that extra parameter. Mark Lanett

You CAN pass a member function to the Toolbox, albeit indirectly... However you create "globals" for your DA, simply create a "gFilterFuncPtr" that is accessed by your filter function, thusly: void MyFilterFunction(void); { gFilterFuncPtr->Filter(); { whatever the syntax is for C++ (I forget) } } Lawson -- Uucp: ...{gatech,ames,rutgers}!ncar!asuvax!stjhmc!300!15.88!Lawson.English Internet: Lawson.English@p88.f15.n300.z1.fidonet.org
