term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments
Which term? Which function is being called?

IntelliSense: expression preceding parentheses of apparent call must have (pointer-to-) function type   
Which expression? Where in the code does this happen?

Code: [Select]
//Inside of the Button Class's constructor function
                buttonSize = size;
rectShape.setSize(buttonSize);
rectShape.setFillColor(color);
rectShape.setPosition(position);
rectBoundingBox.left(20); //<----------------------------
rectBoundingBox.top(20);  //<------------------------------------

Try assignments.

I just tried that, and I think it's working. Could you explain why you have to assign some, and other's is like in parenthesis?
like for example
sf::RectangleShape myRectangleShape;
myRectangleShape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Blue); <---- parenthesis

sf::FloatRect myFloatRect;
myFloatRect.top = 20; <----- assignment

.setFillColor() is a method and takes parameters.
.left is a member and holds values.
