Detailed Description

template<class ReturnType, class... ArgumentTypes>
class System::Delegate< ReturnType(ArgumentTypes...)>

Represents a pointer to a function, method or a function object. This type should be allocated on stack and passed to functions by value or by reference. Never use System::SmartPtr class to manage objects of this type.

#include "system/delegate.h"
#include <iostream>
 
// Declare the delegate.
using Message = System::Delegate<void()>;
 
void PrintMessage()
{
  std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
}
 
int main()
{
  // Assign to variable the address of the PrintMessage function.
  Message mes = Message(&PrintMessage);
 
  // Call the function.
  mes();
 
  return 0;
}
/*
This code example produces the following output:
Hello, world!
*/

Template Parameters

ReturnType	The return type of a function, method or a function object pointer to which is represented by the class
ArgumentTypes	The argument list of a function, method or a function object pointer to which is represented by the class
