Question

I\'m trying to access a member structs variables, but I can\'t seem to get the syntax right. The two compile errors pr. access are: error C2274: \'function-style cast\' : i

Answer 1

You create a nested structure, but you never create any instances of it within the class. You need to say something like:

class Foo{
public:
    struct Bar{
        int otherdata;
    };
    Bar bar;
    int somedata;
};

You can then say:

foo.bar.otherdata = 5;
