WindowProc within a class

hi all

Im new to api in c++ and am having a problem and cant work it out.

my code works correctly if i keep my WindowProc function outside of my class which i am using for creating and destroying the window. which is why i would also like to handle messages within the same class however when i do this i get the following error message.

bvsetup.cpp(104) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'long (__stdcall BVSetUp::*)(struct HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)' to 'long (__stdcall *)(struct HWND
__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)'


here is a snipit of my code



class BVSetUp
{

public:
BVSetUp();
BVSetUp(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int);
~BVSetUp();
bool CreateGLWin();


void KillGLWindow();

virtual LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND , UINT ,WPARAM , LPARAM );

};





bool BVSetUp::CreateGLWin()
{
...

WNDCLASS wc;

...

wc.lpfnWndProc = WindowProc;
...
}


I am using MSVC++6. Anything and everything will be appriciated


Thanks

window procs can't be normal class members since they don't get a this-pointer. You have to use either a global windproc that calls the class wndproc (like in mfc) or a static member function of the class.
