Callback

Callbacks are members of objects that are called internally by Roblox in certain situations. There are currently only two callbacks in the entire Roblox API. These are the RequestShutdown callback of the and the  callback of the  object. There was also previously another callback, called "Receive", which belonged to CustomEvents, but it was removed and was instead replaced by an event.

Icon
The icon of callbacks is similar to the icon of methods, but you can notice that there is a small difference: they are reversed. Callbacks are the only type of member for which there is no protected icon.

Usage
Callbacks are not very intuitive to use for users who have not used them before, since they are very rarely used.

Callbacks can be used like this:

In the code above, Object is an object, Callback is the name of a callback belonging to the object's class, and func is a function that will be set as the callback. The function can accept parameters that will be given by internal code and can return values to the internal code for various uses.

Example
Let's imagine a simple example: you want to make a BindableFunction and bind it to a function that receives two arguments, let's say, the Name of a part and its Size, and that creates a Part, puts it in the Workspace, and give it the Name and the Size passed to the function.

You would first create the BindableFunction:

And you would then connect it to your function, using the OnInvoke callback:

Now, you can just call the BindableFunction like this, and it will create the part:
