746.0. "Passing function pointer through TAG of callback" by CURIE::ONEAL () Tue May 09 1989 11:10

This note cross-posted in the DW_EXAMPLES and DECWINDOWS notes conferences.

    I would like an example of passing a pointer to a data
       structure through the TAG of the callback structure.

The purpose to this would be to have a single callback for the entire
application that would pass a pointer to the appropriate function depending
upon the event so that that function could be executed.
This type of thing was mentioned in the DW class in Hudson,
but it was not examined further.

Thanks,

Tim

I wasn't sure you wanted the address of a data structure or the address
of a function so this does both.
