Events in C++

Question

I\'m not sure how to look for this online... I think they might be called something different in C++

I want to have a simple event system, somthing like

Answer 1

There is a native Visual C++ event system. It's mostly for COM, but it has native C++ support too.

From here:

[event_source(native)]
class CSource {
public:
   __event void MyEvent(int nValue);
};

[event_receiver(native)]
class CReceiver {
public:
   void MyHandler1(int nValue) {
      printf_s("MyHandler1 was called with value %d.\n", nValue);
   }

   void MyHandler2(int nValue) {
      printf_s("MyHandler2 was called with value %d.\n", nValue);
   }

   void hookEvent(CSource* pSource) {
      __hook(&CSource::MyEvent, pSource, &CReceiver::MyHandler1);
      __hook(&CSource::MyEvent, pSource, &CReceiver::MyHandler2);
   }

   void unhookEvent(CSource* pSource) {
      __unhook(&CSource::MyEvent, pSource, &CReceiver::MyHandler1);
      __unhook(&CSource::MyEvent, pSource, &CReceiver::MyHandler2);
   }
};

int main() {
   CSource source;
   CReceiver receiver;

   receiver.hookEvent(&source);
   __raise source.MyEvent(123);
   receiver.unhookEvent(&source);
}
