How to call a function from another class

[gmlnd]

I have a CFormView Project. I'm trying to call a function which is located in LeftMenu.cpp which is my implementation file (CLeftMenu::CLeftMenu() : CFormView(CLeftMenu::IDD)), from AnonWasher.cpp which Defines the class behaviors for the application.(CAnonWasherApp) This is the function that I'm trying to call: void CLeftMenu::GetCheckedItems() { char *checkedItems=NULL; if( m_hWnd != NULL ) { CMainFrame *main = (CMainFrame*)m_hWnd; checkedItems=main->GetCheckedArray(); } } When I call GetCheckedItems from AnonWasher, I get undeclared Identifier error. I don't know how I could do this.

You are failing to #include a .H file. Which line is the compiler complaining about?

[gmlnd]

I have all the .h files. Could there be any other problems? Thanks.

[David Crow]

Having them and #including them are two different things.

[gmlnd]

Yes, I have all the #include .h files both my classes.

[David Crow]

Ok, what about my other question regarding the compiler error?

[gmlnd]

It was complaining about GetCheckedItems();

[David Crow]

At the top of anonwasher.cpp, do you have #include "leftmenu.h"?

[gmlnd]

Yes, I do have the #include "leftmenu.h" at top of anonwasher.cpp. Maybe I need a pointer to that class.

[David Crow]

Yes, your CAnonWasherApp class will need a CLeftMenu object in order to access the GetCheckedItems() method. Whether it is a pointer or not is up to you and the project's design.
