Normally if i use:
What will be sent to generalfunction as arguments would be variable a:s content, and result of "my_func".

However, right now i have a situation where it would be handy if i could actually send the function as it is, to be executed at later point, but is this possible?

What I am after with this in practice is, that I am about to create some buttons, which work exactly same, except, when they are being clicked, they are supposed to execute some function, like "StartGame()".

Therefore it would be handy if i could make only one button type, where i could send that function to be executed when that button is being clicked:

(partial code) Is this possible to do somehow? Could i send a reference to a function for example somehow?

No, this code won't pass the result of "my_func" to generalfunction() but it will pass the function "my_func" to generalfunction(), i.e. it will do exactly what you asked for. For more details see here:

Ah. Finally got it. Had been wondering why on those "OnMouseOver" and ForEach(table, dofunc) it have been demanding function to be without the ()-part.

So idea is that "MyFunc()" results in giving result of the function, while "MyFunc" is sending the function itself.

This is very helpful.
