Inheritance from Shape
« on: June 06, 2021, 10:35:14 am »
Hello everybody.

I am creating a button (RectangleShape + Text) and the basic functionality works correctly.

My problem is when I want to use for example 'setOutlineColor', nothing happens.

Should I overwrite all the methods? Or can I indicate that all properties apply to the RectangleShape?

Sorry for my english, this is google translator

maybe you got to the same problem I did a while ago. both Text and Shape have setOutlineColor.
in my case, I had to use Text and Sprite as members of the class I was creating. I looked into some GUI libraries made with SFML (I dont remember exactly which ones), and they also did it like this.

It looks like this isn't using inheritance, it appears to be aggregation of rectangleshape (it's got a pointer to one). But we'd need to see the whole class to see where it might be going wrong.
