class CMy_class
{
   void DOTHIS_method(short parameter);
   void DOTHAT_method(short parameter);
   typedef void (CMy_class::*PMF) (short);
public: 
   void ANOTHER_method();
};

void CMy_class::ANOTHER_method(short)
{
  PMF pmf;

  pmf = &CMy_class::DOTHIS_method;

  (this->*pmf)(42);
}

This is ANSI C++ and supported by MSVC++ (and gcc of course).
