Inherits: Rectangle Shape, cannot call move method?
« on: March 08, 2016, 08:34:08 pm »
Hi everyone,

As the title states, I am having issues calling an inherited method "move(10.f,10.f)" from the Rectangle Shape class.
Example below:
    //What we'd could normally do:
    sf::RectangleShape aRectShape;
    aRectShape.move(10.f,10.f);//Works
   
    //In a class that inherits Rectangle Shape:
    this->move(10.f,10.f);//Does not work;
From my understanding, the Rectangle Shape class that I have inherited, also inherits a move from the transformable class. Why am I not allowed to access the move method from Rectangle Shape in its child class that I've created?

Thanks.

Laurent

Show the definition of the class, and most important, the compiler error that you get.

Sorry, my mistake =D
Sleep deprive caused me to overlook something, a simple c++ error, thanks.

Edit: Solved.

For completeness, it was due to multiple inheritance, and me not properly removing ambiguity.
Basically sf::Rectangle Shape was inheriting the move method from sf::transformable and I from sf::Rectangle Shape.

So the call: sf::RectangleShape::move(/*stuff*/) allowed me to access the move method from sf::transformable.

As a guess, I'd say that you forgot to add the "public" keyword to your inheritance declaration?
