bind1st only works for binary function objects, but SimpleMethod is only
unary. The example in the Boost.Function documentation actually has a method
taking an "int" parameter, so it works. It's quite silly, actually, that
bind1st is so limited.
Anyway, with MSVC you'll want to use Boost.Bind along with Boost.Function. The
code will look like this:
boost::function0<void> oSimpleMethod;
oSimpleMethod = boost::bind(&CSimple::SimpleMethod, &oSimple);
oSimpleMethod();
Other than the bind change (it's much cleaner using Boost.Bind!), I've changed
"boost::function" to "boost::function0" because MSVC can't currently handle
the boost::function class template very well. ('0' is the number of function
parameters it takes).
