Hi!

How can I get a pointer to a function using a string which contains the name of the function?

I thought of something like that....

Code:

---

STRING* NameOfFunction = "Test_Fun";
voidptr = ????(NameOfFunction);   

---

You can use engine_getvar here.

I tried that:

Code:

---

 
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

function Test_Fun()
{
	wait(-10);
	sys_exit("");
}

STRING* NameOfFunction = "Test_Fun";

void* voidptr()
{
	
	wait(1);
	
}

long type;

function main()
{
	
	wait(1);
	
	voidptr = engine_getvar(NameOfFunction,type);
	
	voidptr();
	
} 

---

It did not work...."Error E1513: Crash in main"

How can I do that correctly?

But for what reason do you need to find a function by its name? Why don't you call the function directly?

Oh yes...that works..!

I want to make a GUI-Editor and want to change the event function of a panel by user input.
