I'm trying to look this up in the manual.  Where in the manual is it?

The solution is documented in the new manuals. We now support the
following construct:

Procedure TMyObject.MyCallback (Var Var1: Type1;Self : TMyObject); message 'changed'; cdecl;

begin
  // This will load self from the second parameter.
end;

So you declare your callback function with the correct number of arguments,
(so it matches the gtk_signal_func) and then you do a

gtk_signal_connect(gtk_object(fcomponent),'changed',gtk_signal_func(MyCallback),Self)

Self will be passed through the 'self' argument.

This was implemented especially for GTK and QT; see the docs for more info.

If it isn't clear, just ask.

Michael.
