I''m trying to add a class to my modified lesson14 code. It doesn''t work though. Here''s the section: class myclass{ private: char mydata[6]; public: void printclass(){mydata[0]=''h''; glPrint(mydata);}; }; int DrawGLScene(GLvoid) { glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT / GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); glLoadIdentity(); glTranslatef(-7.5f,-8.0f,-22.0f); glColor3f(0.5f,0.0f,0.5f); myclass.printclass(); return TRUE; } I get this error message: --------------------Configuration: lesson14 - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling... 3dguys.cpp C:\My Documents\lesson14\lesson14.cpp(546) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''myclass'' C:\My Documents\lesson14\lesson14.cpp(546) : error C2501: ''GLclass'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers C:\My Documents\lesson14\lesson14.cpp(546) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found Error executing cl.exe. Lesson14.exe - 3 error(s) Thanks!

oops! Here''s the real error message:

C:\My Documents\lesson14\lesson14.cpp(566) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '';'' before ''.''
C:\My Documents\lesson14\lesson14.cpp(566) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '';'' before ''.''

The last one was when I tried using GLclass =) Guess there''s no such thing.

void printclass(){mydata[0]=''h''; glPrint(mydata);};

There should be no semicolon at the end of this line. See if that helps.


Andrew

First of all cut of the semicolon '';'' at the line

void printclass(){mydata[0]=''h''; glPrint(mydata);};

and change in

void printclass(){mydata[0]=''h''; glPrint(mydata);}

Then you can''t refer to the name of the class to invoke its method but you have to create an instance of the class.

I mean, No

myclass.printclass();

But

myclass mc;
..........
..........
..........
mc.printclass();

Hope I was able to help you....

Thanks!!
