Here is a test program that represents the problem we are trying to
solve. A vector contains boost shared pointers for a base class. For
each item in the container we want to call to_String with a value
representing the number of spaces to indent the output.

#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <boost/cstdint.hpp>
#include <vector>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <iostream>

class Base {
public:

    virtual std::string to_String ( boost::uint32_t indent ) = 0;

};

class A : public Base {
public:

    A ( boost::uint32_t value )
        : m_value ( value )
    {}

    virtual std::string to_String ( boost::uint32_t indent )
    {
        std::stringstream output;

        for ( boost::uint32_t i = 0; i < indent; i++ )
            {
                output << " ";
            }

        output << m_value;

        return output.str();
    }

private:

    boost::uint32_t m_value;
};

class D : public Base {
public:

    D ( boost::uint32_t value )
        : m_value ( value )
    {}

    virtual std::string to_String ( boost::uint32_t indent )
    {
        std::stringstream output;

        for ( boost::uint32_t i = 0; i < indent; i++ )
            {
                output << " ";
            }

        output << m_value;

        return output.str();
    }

private:

    boost::uint32_t m_value;
};

int main ( int, char** )
{
    typedef boost::shared_ptr<A> A_ptr_t;
    typedef boost::shared_ptr<D> D_ptr_t;

    typedef std::vector < boost::shared_ptr<Base> > Data_t;
    Data_t m_data;

    A_ptr_t a ( new A ( 50 ) );
    D_ptr_t d ( new D ( 30 ) );

    m_data.push_back ( a );
    m_data.push_back ( d );

    boost::uint32_t indent_value = 4;

    std::for_each ( m_data.begin(),
                    m_data.end(),
                    std::cout << boost::bind ( &Base::to_String,
                                               boost::bind::_1,
                                               indent_value ) );
    return 0;
}
