It's difficult to come up with a non-trivial example using this technique.
It's more appropriate where you want to allow access to some data from
within a compiled module. A virtual method is very simlar and a better
choice in many circumstances. For a real world example of how a callback is
used in the Windows API, look in comp.lang.clarion for a thread with the
subject enumfonts. I posted an example on 2006.19.01 that uses a typed
procedure to prototype the callback procedure passed to the windows API.
Another similar example is the FileCallbackInterface in Clarion.

Larry Sand
