I''m using templates for a link list. I''m using this link list for organising vertex indexes to CWnd''s. The problem I have is that when I destroy the LinkList, I destroy(delete) the nodes (or links) of course and have an option to delete the node''s pointer which could be the CWnd or the vertex index etc. Now when I delete the Node''s template class (any class), it sends me directly to the link list''s class. this is my declaration for the link list template class LINKLIST1D { public: LINKLIST1D() { Head = NULL; DeleteNodes = FALSE;}; LINKLIST1D(bool mDeleteNodes) { Head = NULL; DeleteNodes = mDeleteNodes;}; ~LINKLIST1D(); struct LINK { LINK() { Node = NULL; Next = NULL; }; T* Node; LINK* Next; }; LINK* Head; bool DeleteNodes; bool Add (T *Node); bool Remove (T *Node, bool DeleteNode = FALSE); void Empty(); }; typedef LINKLIST1D::LINK LINK1D; So I create the linkList LINKLIST1D CWndList; I then add a node CWnd* Window = new CWnd; CWndList.Add(Window); then when I destroy the class, I destroy all the new links I created and if needed, I need to delete the actual link''s node (the CWnd* window) that I passed through.. but it thinks I''m deleting a LINKLIST1D class and sends me to the destructor again what am I doing wrong...

Well, from my experience (unless in Windows Programming there is a new way to work with templates), your notation seems a little off. When I used them, this is how I did it:

    template <Class T> class LinkedList{public: LinkedList() {Whatever = whatever; etc = etc;} T& DoSomething();private: T TVariable;}template <Class T>T& LinkedList<T>::DoSomething(){ return TVariable;}Then, to create an instance, you do:LinkedList<int> MyLList;    

?? Maybe that will help you a little?! Not sure.

You could also use the STL

std::list is probably what you''re interested in.

Of course, it is always good to understand how to make a template.

Thanks guys, someone from the GameDev chat helped me out. Everything is working great...
