the most sarcastic error I've ever seen

[bassouma86]

ok how can this be happenin' ???????

i get this error:

E:\Documents and Settings\Bassouma\Desktop\August\Game Console\Game ConsoleDlg.cpp(308) : error C2664: 'DoIt' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class CStatic' to 'class CStatic'


how is it possible that the 2st CStatic can't be converted to the 2nd

this is toooooo much :'(

wow. I haven't seen that before. Maybe you could post some of the relevant lines
of your code. Until then, dunno.

That kind of error has happened to me before when I forgot to put a reference parameter in an operator declaration. Please post your code.

ok here's the function call that makes the problem:

DoIt(m_TTwo,SERIAL);

m_TTwo is a picture control i have <it's type is Cstatic> & SERIAL is int

the func declaration is void CGameConsoleDlg:oIt(CStatic X,int SERIAL)

any ideas ???

Hi,

A better choice might be to pass a pointer to the CStatic rather than declare a whole new CStatic. For example :

CGameConsoleDlg:DoIt(CStatic *X,int SERIAL)

and then to call the function using the address-of operator:

DoIt(&m_TTwo,SERIAL);

You'll obnviously need to change the member selection operator ( . to ->) in the function. This might not solve the problem you are having but it is something to consider and try.

thx man it works

Or pass a reference to avoid passing NULL values:

CGameConsoleDlg:DoIt(CStatic &X,int SERIAL)

Use:

DoIt(m_TTwo,SERIAL);
