Window / Re: Declaring SFML Window as a member in a class

You have to make sure that the class which contains the sf::Window does not get copied too (e.g. define your own copy constructor for the class (or delete it/make it private))

btw: a better thread name would be "Declaring SFML Window as a member in a class" or something like that.

Thanks! I'll give this a go and report back. I've also updated the title, too.

Window / Declaring SFML Window as a member in a class

« on: March 06, 2015, 11:04:42 am »

Hi there,

I'm trying to declare my SFML window as a "class-wide" variable so that I can use it in all of the class' methods (forgive me if this isn't the correct way of doing things, I'm coming from Java!)

I tried adding it as a private variable in my header like so:

private:
        sf::Window windowMenu;

However my program then throws various errors about how Window is non-copyable? Is there any way to declare a window such that its scope is class-wide?
