How's about this one:

struct data_to_access_t

class Abc(T, alias Fn) {
T data;
this(T data) {

auto a = abc!((f) => writefln("test %d", f.tacos))(d);

One problem with this approach is that two seemingly identical
instantiations are different types. This may or may not be a
problem in your specific case. If it is:
import std.stdio : writefln;
import std.functional : toDelegate;
struct data_to_access_t
{
int tacos;
}
class Abc(T) {
T data;
void delegate(T) Fn;
this(T data, void delegate(T) Fn) {
this.data = data;
this.Fn = Fn;
}
void execute() {
Fn(data);
}
}
Abc!(T) abc(alias Fn, T)(T data) {
static if (__traits(isTemplate, Fn))
return new Abc!(T)(data, Fn!T);
else
return new Abc!(T)(data, Fn.toDelegate);
}
unittest {
data_to_access_t d;
auto a = abc!((f) => writefln("test %d", f.tacos))(d);
auto b = abc!((data_to_access_t f) => writefln("test %d",
f.tacos))(d);
a.execute();
b.execute();

so maybe it would be better to just do:

ah i see bauss already wrote the same.
some other aproach could be:
class Base
{
final void draw()
{ drawSelf(); }
abstract void drawSelf();
}
class A : Base
{
override void drawSelf()

Depending on exactly what you want to do, this may be impossible,
or bauss' code might fit the bill, or you could use anonymous
classes:

First of all your code is not valid D code.
To construct a delegate you use the following syntax:
RETURN_TYPE delegate(PARAMS);
Ex. in your case:
void delegate(viewport_t);
Secondly, classes are reference types and thus you cannot
construct just like:
viewport_t v;
It must be assigned using "new".
Ex.
auto v = new viewport_t;
The same goes for your dialog_t instance.
What you can do to avoid double allocation of dialog_t is to
initially set it to void and thus you can point to the initial
variable within your delegate that is constructed when dialog_t
is actually constructed.
Ex.
dialog_t d = void;
d = new dialog_t (15, 15,
delegate void (viewport_t)
{
d.draw_text("hello world"); //calls dialog_t
function
}
);
I could go into more details, but that would be completely
unrelated to your issue at hand.

Re: Delegates and classes for custom code.
I'm having trouble conceptualizing this issue at the moment. But
it seems if I pass to the delegate my object, then I can ONLY use
one class type.
Say, the delegate takes a "this" from... some class that wants to
have a dialog. A window. Now the delegate NEEDS a this from a
window, and only a window. So if I have a delegate in...
something else, I'll either need to figure out some way for
templates to work with that... or some kind of wrapping class /
interface.
But all I want is a kind of Javascript'y:
Every time this object gets .onDraw() called. It does whatever I
told it to do.
auto t = new object1( onDraw(){ do stuff} );
auto t2 = new object2( onDraw() { do other stuff} );
I'm trying to do the same kind of API for button handling where
it automatically links into event queues (which works) and the
button does whatever I want it to. But, it can only access PUBLIC
INTERFACES (globals) because it can't access the underlying
object and globals are the only ones it can statically figure out
at compile-time.
Re: Delegates and classes for custom code.
Some typos in there. execute == on_draw. Basically, I'm just sending a delegate/lambda "custom function" at initialization time. But I'd like that delegate to somehow access the holding classes functions. Or figure out how to do that. Maybe the class somehow sends the delegate a this parameter when the class goes to execute it?
