I think I need more coffee, because I don't get it yet. I will look again when my eyes are focusing properly. For some reason it's a lot easier to look at my own code in the morning than other people's. I didn't think about that when I wrote my OP. Laugh | :laugh:

Edit: Okay, I get it. That's interesting. It's an approach I'd be more inclined to take in C. That's part of why I didn't grok it at first, because I was expecting something kinda C++ish.

That works great for buttons, but less so with more complicated widgets, like display drivers, because then you run into having an entire API of "callbacks" you have to source.

I'd certainly adopt this approach in a C project. With C++ I tend to prefer to encapsulate things to a containing class, but then that invites all the complication that comes with it, of course.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
