Hi,

Actually this is not Scatter package issue.

I want to use Function pointer (Class pointer) to access internal variables from ScatterCtrlDemo.

From file tab14_userequations.cpp
ScatterDemo *ConstructUserEquation()
{
	static TabUserEquation tab_ue;
	return &tab_ue;
}

INITBLOCK {
	RegisterExample("User equation", ConstructUserEquation, __FILE__);
}


From file main.cpp
struct Example {
	ScatterDemo* (*ctrl)();
	String name;
	int index;
};

Array<Example>& Examples()
{
	static Array<Example> x;
	return x;
}

void RegisterExample(const char *name, ScatterDemo* (*ctrl)(), String fileName)
{
	Example& x = Examples().Add();
	x.name = name;
	x.ctrl = ctrl;
	x.index = ScanInt(GetFileName(fileName).Mid(3, 2));
}


Now with RegisterExample static TabUserEquation tab_ue gets added to Examples Array as Type ScatterDemo.
I want to use tab_ue in other part of code.

How to declare it so that it will be part of Examples Array and available independently.


Warm Regards

Deepak

Dear Deepak

Actually you can handle static TabUserEquation tab_ue from any part of the code through Examples().

With Examples()[i].name you get the name of the demo to be sure is that index "i" is the one that you want, and with Examples()[i].ctrl() you have access to tab_ue.


Best regards

Dear Koldo,

Thanks for your answer.

Considering same example there is EditString "equation" on the layout.

I want to know how to access it.

Examples()[i].ctrl() gives me access to elements of struct "Example" only.


Warm Regards

Deepak

Hello Deep

Probably I would prefer to save a reference to the tab and using it directly.

However you can use this everywhere:
for (int i = 0; i < Examples().GetCount(); ++i) {
	if (Examples()[i].name == "User equation") {
		TabUserEquation &tab = dynamic_cast<TabUserEquation&>(*Examples()[i].ctrl());
		EditString &equation = tab.equation;
		equation.SetText("HELLO WORLD!");
	}
}


Best regards
Iñaki

Hello Koldo,

Thank you.

I checked it in my code. It is working as expected.


Warm Regards
