Another general C++ question

Hey

I have some code to draw a background, it's inside an inherited class from a base class and the function is called by the base class. I call it like this:

Code: Select all

IMainMenu mainMenu;
mainMenu.loadMainMenu();

Now, the code inside the function definatly works, I substituted it for the function and it loaded fine, but when I try to call it as above it crashes when I try to run the program, the debugger points to the first line of my function loadMainMenu(). Has anyone else seen this and know what to do about it?

You could try using a pointer:

Code: Select all

IMainMenu *mainMenu = new IMainMenu(); 
mainMenu->loadMainMenu();

You may even want to build the loadMainMenu() code into the IMainMenu constructor.

Cheers, I've never seen that b4.
