Can I use a pointer to a class that inherits from several others as if it were just one of the base classes... LIKE: Code: class Something class AnotherThing : public Something, public WhateverElse Anotherthing anotherthing; Something *something = &anotherthing; something->variable ++; Is this allowed? (Well it seems not because the variable has a wrong value when I access it... Bah)

you need to cast it to a Something pointer type. Don't you get compiler warnings about it? [edit]Hmm, this post is a bit old. I guess you got it sorted by now. [Edited on July 30, 2007 by PEader] ____________ I see 57,005 people. |
