[QUOTE=thelinx;33526852]Right, yeah, the article showed if-else so that made me a bit confused.
Mind showing an example of a "dictionary -> factory pattern"?[/QUOTE]

I wrote a class for this but my code probably doesn't make it any easier to understand..

[url]http://code.google.com/p/bootil/source/browse/trunk/Bootil/Utility/ClassFactory.h[/url]

[cpp]/*

Usage:

In your Base Classes header:

ClassFactory_Declare( MyFactory, MyBaseClass );

In your Base Classes class definition:

ClassFactor_Base( MyBaseClass );

In your Base Classes body:

ClassFactory_Define( MyFactory, MyBaseClass );

Then register derived classes using (in cpp file)

ClassFactory_RegisterEx( MyFactory, MyBaseClass, MyDerivedClass, 0, "Name Of Class", "Description Of Class" )

or

ClassFactory_Register( MyFactory, MyBaseClass, MyDerivedClass, "Name Of Class" )

To Create a class

ClassFactory( MyFactory )->Create( "Name Of Class" )
