My Issue/Question:

Hello!

My problem is that I want to use a input that don't have a max size, such is used in the demo file. But I see that in the demo file is used a static method, but I want to create a class with a object (str) that was updated when the resize callback was called, it object is defined inside the class, but when I try to create the Input, it don't accept the class method, only static methods. Its a example that my code:

class ResizableInputTextMultiline {
private:
	ImVector<char>* str;
public:
	ResizableInputTextMultiline(ImVector<char>* str);
	bool Draw(const char* label, const ImVec2& size = ImVec2(0, 0), ImGuiInputTextFlags flags = 0);
	int ResizeCallback(ImGuiInputTextCallbackData* data);
};

bool ResizableInputTextMultiline::Draw(const char* label, const ImVec2& size, ImGuiInputTextFlags flags)
{
	IM_ASSERT((flags & ImGuiInputTextFlags_CallbackResize) == 0);
	return ImGui::InputTextMultiline(label, this->str->begin(), (size_t)this->str->size(), size, flags | ImGuiInputTextFlags_CallbackResize, this->ResizeCallback, (void*)this->str); //Error (active)	E0300	a pointer to a bound function may only be used to call the function
}

Can I solve this and give the class method as a resize callback argument?

data->UserData is the string in your snippet, so if you don't need to access other members of your object the above is fine. Just make ResizeCallback static or non-member. Otherwise:

ImGui::InputTextMultiline(label, str->begin(), str->size(), size, flags | ImGuiInputTextFlags_CallbackResize, [](ImGuiInputTextCallbackData *data) {
  return static_cast<ResizableInputTextMultiline *>(data->UserData)->ResizeCallback(data);
}, this);

Also have a look at misc/cpp/imgui_stdlib.h to not re-invent the wheel.

The error from IDE solved, but I'm not understand at all. With your code, it will call the ResizeCallback from my object or I'll need to made it static before?

[GamingMinds-DanielC]

It is a normal member (non-static) in that short code snippet. The call passes the object's this-pointer as user data to the function and gives it a lambda (available since C++ 11) as a wrapper. That lambda then takes the user data, casts it back into the object pointer and calls the method on the object.
