Hmmmm I am stumped on this one, using Visual Studio 2012 I have only one error left on my project and I am dying to test it out. Yes it's for a C++ class and I hope I posted enough code.
I get the error:
C2227 left of ->writeData must point to class/struct/union/generic type
In the previous project this line had the element of the array of pointers ( an Employee* pointer I assume) and it worked like so:
Employee* myEmployees[MAX_EMPS];
...
myEmployees[i]->writeData(outputEmployee);
So I implement a vector of Employee*, and assume it also contains pointers:
MyVector<Employee*> employeePtrList;
I do the next couple steps a bit indirectly but have cleared this with Prof. Debry:
Employee* empPtr1 = new HourlyEmployee(EMP1_ID, EMP1_NAME, EMP1_ADDRESS, EMP1_PHONE, EMP1_HOURS, EMP1_WAGE);
2...
3...
4...
employeePtrList.push_back(empPtr1);
2...
3...
4...
Then later in the program this line is giving me the error:
employeePtrList.at(i)->writeData(outputEmployee);
I have tried various things, if I dereference it with *(employeePtrList) just for fun it changes the intellisense error but I still get the same:
C2227 left of ->writeData must point to class/struct/union/generic type
Any idears? Where I get stumped is understand that employeePtrLIst is an Employee pointer so maybe it's looking for at in the wrong class? I guess maybe I am not "pointing" to the function in the MyVector class properly?
Thanks
