It's fairly easy, but maybe not so obvious. The binding files (*.i)
just contain the functions as for any other class, don't be fooled by
wxLuaPrintout seemingly not having any functions, they are defined in
the base wxPrintout binding.
The c++ class has to implement the code to check to see if there is a
lua function overriding it. See modules/wxbind/src/wxlprint.cpp for
some examples. Note that we've decided to add a ref counted wxLuaState
to the c++ class and then have to override the constructor, see
bindings/wxwidgets/overrides.cpp wxLua_wxLuaPrintout_constructor
instead of trying to lookup what lua_State we're coming from on the
fly each time a function is called. Once inside the c++ function, see
any of the wxLuaPrintout functions, you handle the args and do
whatever is necessary then always call
SetCallBaseClassFunction(false), otherwise you'll get recursion, if
you call base_SOMEFUNCNAME() you always should get the base class
function.
If you can think of a way to automate this a little better that'd be
great. There is one change I've been meaning to make however, we need
a way to make naming wxLuaPrintout just wxPrintout in lua since the
lua code doesn't need to know or care that it's really a
wxLuaPrintout.
Hope this helps,
