Using shapeshifter MessageEvent and boost bind together to pass arguments to callback

edit

Well in my initial search, I missed out on a resource that did exactly what I'm trying to do. In case anybody else stumbles upon this question, please follow this tutorial:

http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Wri...

Basically it would end up looking like this:

class Class1
{
  private:
  ros::NodeHandle node_;

  void MemberCallback(topic_tools::ShapeShifter::ConstPtr& msg)
  {
    ...
  }

  public:
  Class1()
  {
      boost::function<void(const topic_tools::ShapeShifter::ConstPtr&)> callback = boost::bind(&Class1::MemberCallback, this, _1);
      node_.subscribe("test", 10, callback);
  }
};

I think my issue before was using the ros::MessageEvent class when I didn't need it. This is a simplified example just to compile, but you can now add arguments to the callback as you need them.
