Simple C++ Pointer Problem

Hi,

Im learning C++ and understand the concept of pointers to some extent, but ive come up against this line of code:

typedef void (* MyFunctionPointer)( void * lpUserData );

What does it do? Is it defining a pointer to a pointer or something like that?

Thanks for the help,

Steve

typedef is used to define your own types to make code more readable. In this case it is defining your own type of function pointer. If you don't know what these are check out http://www.function-pointer.org/index.html for all you could ever want to know about them.
