C2259

[T RATHA KRISHNAN]

Hi! I got the following error: Error 1 error C2259: 'irr::gui::CImageGUISkin' : cannot instantiate abstract class d:\klagui\source\main.cpp 27 I checked the CImageGUISkin class for pure virtual functions. It has no pure virtual functions. Then why this error comes? How to resolve this error?

If CImageGUISkin inherits from other classes, you need to check them too, and make sure all pure virtual functions are overridden/defined.

Are you aware that there is an Irrlich forum (which can be accessed through their website) ? You'll have much more chance to get an answer there rather than asking Irrlicht specific questions on codeproject.

Parent class contains pure virtual functions. But if I try override those functions, I got the following errors: error C2259: 'irr::gui::CImageGUISkin' : cannot instantiate abstract class 1>d:\klagui\source\cimageguiskin.cpp(325) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'irr::gui::CImageGUISkin::getColor' 1>d:\klagui\source\cimageguiskin.cpp(325) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed.

There is something on the line d:\klagui\source\cimageguiskin.cpp(325) that the compiler doesn't understand. Usually a type name where you forgot to #include its declaration.
