Hi Bill,

Yes, your right that's my problem in the simplest words. Sorry not to have
explained it so easily :)

I guess I'm in your second case, since the extern method (the one in the C++
library) can't be redefined to receive a function pointer instead of a
object pointer.

Where could I find some examples / info about the solution you talked about?

What do you think about the tunned proxy class to get it done with
delegates? With that approach I would get more software architectures in the
scope, wouldn't I?
