Using Lambda expressions in addListener()

@fjason2713 wrote:

The syntax for adding listener to an ofxButton is generally as follows:

myButton.addListener( this , &ofApp::myButtonListener);

and then define myButtonListener() somewhere else in the file:

void ofApp::myButtonListener(){ ... }

This got me wondering if there is a way to utilise lambda expressions for the Listener method. This would be very useful especially when the listener method doesn’t do a lot.
I tried to write something like:

myButton.addListener( this , [this] (){
 *...handle the event...*
});

but it fails to compile, where ofAddListener() complains: No matching function for call to ‘ofAddListener’. Is there a way to do this?
