Problem passing a Reference through multiple functions
-
I am trying to pass a reference through a couple of layers of functions, and I am getting a C2664 Error. Here is my setup: I have a class [ c_ClassOne ] which contains a pointer to an object [ p_MyObject ]. I have a second class [ c_ClassTwo ] which has a function [ FunctionOne(MYOBJECTTYPE* myObject) ] I have a third class [ c_ClassThree ] which also has a function [ FunctionTwo(MYOBJECTTYPE* myObject) ] I then try to pass the reference to the pointer p_MyObject from c_ClassOne to be used within FunctionTwo. So in a function within c_ClassOne I create an instance of c_ClassTwo [ myClassTwo ] I then pass a reference to p_MyObject as follows: myClassTwo.FunctionOne(&p_MyObject); Then within FunctionOne, I create an Instance of c_ClassThree [ myClassThree ] I then attempt to once again pass the reference to p_MyObject: myClassThree.FunctionTwo(&p_MyObject); On that line I get the following error: error C2664: 'CD3DInitialize::Enumerate' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'LPDIRECT3D9 ** ' to 'LPDIRECT3D9' Note: LPDIRECT3D9 is the Object Type of p_MyObject. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong, and help me understand how to do it correctly? Thanks, Jody

Just pass it like this: myClassTwo.FunctionOne(p_MyObject); myClassThree.FunctionOne(p_MyObject); Your functions are accepting pointers, and the object you're passing is a pointer. There is no need to dereference it.
