I'm having trouble setting up a TimerCallback instance. I need multiple
timers in my class, and as you can have only one instance of a Timer
per class instance, I figured I could use the template timer. I based
the code on what little I could find on the topic, on page 58 of
PowerPlant_X_Migration_Guide.pdf, on the IdleTimerCallback sample.

Header and implementation extracted below...

When I compile, I get the following warning:

-----------------
Warning : illegal implicit member pointer conversion
XDialogCapture.cp line 518   mTimerFreeDiskSpace.Install( this,
&DoTimerFreeDiskSpace, ::GetMainEventLoop(), 0.5, 3.0 );
-----------------

The choke seems to be on my DoTimerFreeDiskSpace function.

I've tried to cast it away without any luck. I also can't find any
suitable pragma to wrap the Install function just to shut the compiler
up.

The code builds and runs perfectly, tho. I just want to get rid of the
reported warning.

Any clues, please?

class    DialogCapture :    public Timer
{
public:
                        DialogCapture();
    virtual                ~DialogCapture();

private:
            // Timers
    TimerCallback<DialogCapture> mTimerFreeDiskSpace;

    void                DoTimerFreeDiskSpace();
};

//

void
DialogCapture::RunDialog()
{
        // Install Timer instance
    mTimerFreeDiskSpace.Install( this, &DoTimerFreeDiskSpace,

}
