error C2039: 'Sound' : is not a member of 'sf' vc++ error

[og_the_trog]

Hello Everyone
I only started using the sfml audio module today, and when I try to define a sound and compile my code, visual studio gives me an error saying "error C2039: 'Sound' : is not a member of 'sf'"

normally on vc++ it  underlines a word in red if it has found an error, but with this it only gives me an error when I compile.

I have included SFML/Audio.hpp, but indirectly, meaning I'm including a header file that's including SFML/Audio.hpp. If that means anything.

I've also added sfml-audio-d.lib as an additional dependency, in the linker properties.

another curious thing is when I try to run the example programs for sound and sound capture a window pops up saying "the program can't start because openal32 dll is missing from your computer"
perhaps that's the reason, if it is I have no idea how to fix it...

I'm using sfml 2.0, on windows 7 home premium, and compiling on microsoft visual c++ 2010 express edition

ThankYou c:

Strange, I managed to fix it, but I don't know why it had this problem to start with.
first time I defined my sf::sound in the header file, this gave me the "'Sound' : is not a member of 'sf'" error.
but when I define it in the .cpp file it works fine and as expected.

oh well I'll just have to put up with it, atleast I managed to fix it at all.

Are you sure you were including <SFML/Audio.hpp> in your header file?

Don't trust IntelliSense, it has many issues, starting at hanging itself up and ending at marking random things.

The only thing you should fully trust is the compiler and linker.

If a class declaration can't be found, then you haven't included the right header at the right position. Since it didn't work in your header, you most likely forgot to include SFML/Audio.hpp.
