Can not find where to define an identifier..

Hello i am a total newbie in C++ and i am learning by tryning to modify an existing code which uses displays. In the original code there are 2 displays showing informations to the user I want to add a third display do i copied the screen2.cpp and screen2.h and renamed them to screen3.cpp and screen3.h Inside the screen3 code i replace all mentions of screen2 by screen3 and i added the screen 3 in the screens.cpp script // User screens MMIRegisterScreen(SCREENID_1, Screen1Enter, Screen1Create, Screen1Update, Screen1Exit); MMIRegisterScreen(SCREENID_2, Screen2Enter, Screen2Create, Screen2Update, Screen2Exit); MMIRegisterScreen(SCREENID_3, Screen3Enter, Screen3Create, Screen3Update, Screen3Exit); My problem is that when i debug i end up with 4 error messages as the Screen3Enter, Screen3Create , Screen3Update and Screen3Exit are not declared This is strange as in the screen3.cpp the functions here above are declared the same way they are declared for the other screen i copied from void Screen3Enter(void) { } void Screen3Create(void) { Thanks for your suggestions

You have to find where
Screen2Enter, Screen2Create, Screen2Update, Screen2Exit
are declared (and where they are defined) and do something similar to what you've already done: make the brand new
Screen3Enter, Screen3Create, Screen3Update, Screen3Exit
copying and renaming. Unfortunately the process could go on deeper and deeper.

Thanks the functions are defined in the script of the screen I am wondering if they should be declared somewhere else ? void Screen3Enter(void) { } void Screen3Create(void) { // Setup default keys ScreensSetupDefaultKeys();

No one here can guess what this code is doing, or what it is supposed to do. And trying to learn C++ by modifying someone else's code is not a great idea.
OK thanks but i have no time to learn from scratch I have an existing code doing more or less what i expect on the displays and am trying to make it look how i want.

Then you are going to need a lot of luck, and will probably get very frustrated. Looking at the few lines of code you did show suggests that it is a Windows GUI application, so that is another subject you will need to learn.

In
C++there is no script. There are, instead, header files (*.h) and source files (usually*.cppor*.cc). You should put the function declarations, e.g.void Screen3Enter();
in header files, while the function definitions, e.g.
void Screen3Enter()
{
// some useful code here
}should be written in source files.

Thanks i already have these declarations inside screens3.cpp void Screen3Enter(void) void Screen3Create(void) void Screen3Update(void) void Screen3Exit(void) when i am inside screens3.cpp there is a "No issues found" message at the bottom of the screen but when i launch the simulation i have these 4 error messages C2065 'Screen3Enter' undeclared identifier from the screens.cpp source referring to the following line MMIRegisterScreen(SCREENID_3, Screen3Enter, Screen3Create, Screen3Update, Screen3Exit); Thanks for trying to help me

Put those declarations inside the screens3.h header file. For instance:
// screens3.h
#ifndef _SCREENS3_
#define _SCREENS3_
void Screen3Enter(void);
void Screen3Create(void);
void Screen3Update(void);
void Screen3Exit(void);
#endifthen put
#include "screens3.h"
in every source file that needs them (e.g. screens.cpp)

I added #include "screens3.h" in different source files although it was not for the other screens When i launched the simulator there was an error message saying "cannot open source file screen3.h" I tried to retype MMIRegisterScreen instead of copying it and when i started to type the first function (screen3Enter) it proposed different functions to me but none for the screen 3 although they qre declared inside the screen3.cpp I deleted the screen3Enter function and retyped it hoping to see it appear in the list of proposed functions for the MMURefusterScreen but still it was not in the list

can you spot the difference?

yes i removed the s from screens3 but no change finally what i did is modify a fourth screen already programmed with a gauge to benefit from the declarations and it works.. I still do not understand why it did not work with my screen. Thanks for your help !
