Pointer to a class (not an object)
Author
Ok, in C++, is there a way to make a pointer to a class type (not an object of that class), similar to making a pointer to a function. I guess it really wouldn''t make sense, becuz functions have an address, whereas classes don''t, but I figured I''d ask anyways. Perhaps templates would be what I am looking for?

My only guess as to what you might be doing is dynamic object creation.
I create an object factory with:
typedef CAndromedaManageableObject*(*pt2Func)(void);
typedef map > OBJMAP;
Every Object in my object heirarchy must inmplement an interface:
public:
static CAndromedaManageableObject* InstantiateMe() { return new CAndromedaManageableObject; }
Then for every class I pass the InstantiateMe() function and the class name to the object factory for storage.

That looks about like what I''m trying to do, I''ll give it a try. Thanx.
