Derived Classes Can't Set Function Pointers

No, it's not. I could derive it from ConsoleObject, but it'd be a waste since Window has no visual representation - it's just a collection of ConsoleObject objects with a few extra things such as event handler functions, etc.

Okay, I'm down to just 6 compile errors from over 100! Unfortunately, I'm having a little trouble typecasting a pointer to a function. TitleBar is a derived class of ConsoleObject, which is the default parent class of the event handler function pointers. Can I typecast a TitleBar function pointer to a ConsoleObject function pointer? I know it might not be "safe" per se, but is it possible?

class TitleBar : public ConsoleObject
{
    protected:
        CommandButton *closeButton;
    public:
    TitleBar(/*args*/) : ConsoleObject(/*args*/)
    {
        //typecast needed here.
        closeButton->eventHandler->setMouseOverEventHandler_Class(&TitleBar::closeWindow);
    }
};
