Error expected a member name
« on: November 02, 2016, 06:17:43 pm »
void Button::checkClick(sf::Vector2f mousePos) {
   this->&getSprite().getGlobalBounds().contains(mousePos); /*error here I can't deference the pointer to my sprite to call this function*/
}

//currentSpr is a pointer to the current sprite being used by my button
sf::Sprite* Button::getSprite() {
   return currentSpr;
}

My question is how can I implement my check click function / how can I fix this error

I fixed this, I needed to call the objects function using -> since it's a pointer

ex)
   this->getSprite()->getGlobalBounds().contains(mousePos);
