Hey everyone,<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m using wxWidgets, and as you all may know they have a silly macro used to define an event table...</div><div><br></div><div><div>BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE( MainWindow, wxFrame )</div><div>   EVT_CLOSE( MainWindow::OnClose )</div>
<div>END_EVENT_TABLE()</div><div><br></div><div>I spend a few hours finding out that wxFrame is the incorrect parameter for parameter #2. This is not the base class that MainWindow derives from. There was no compiler error or warning, nor any errors during runtime. Only weird behavior because events were getting skipped.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Because of this error-proneness, I&#39;m looking for a way to have boost help me out with this. I&#39;m looking for a metafunction in Boost that can be used to obtain (at compile time) the base type of MainWindow. For example:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE( MainWindow, boost::get_base_of&lt;MainWindow&gt;::type )</div><div>   EVT_CLOSE( MainWindow::OnClose )</div><div>END_EVENT_TABLE()</div><div><br></div><div>Something like that above. I know that type traits has is_base_of, and I&#39;m hoping there is a get version of that too. I&#39;ve browsed through the reference but I&#39;ve found nothing helpful.</div>
