Hey,

I am sheepishly wondering if someone could merely point me to documentation on the following operators. I've done some looking but am coming up short, as they don't exactly pull good search engine results. The operators are as follows

:: (as in this declaration)
CInput::EOperation eOperation

-> (as in this function call)
poRTProtocol->Connect(a,b,c,d)

It seems like ways to access dependencies or children of elements .. or something? Just pass me some documentation, please! :)

Much appreciated

Superman posted the links to the right reference for those operators in particular (how he got there I don't know... I couldn't conjure the google fu, and I've never been able to bend msdn to my will).

But you might want to start with a basic tutorial of C++, even if you're just trying to understand someone's existing code and not write it yourself.

Learning C++ is fun and not at all like torturing yourself with a million tiny pinpricks. Well maybe it is a little.

I do a lot of coding in other languages and I'm just trying to figure out some of the these operators I'm not familiar with. I appreciate your suggestion though. I do enjoy C++ a lot ;)

Fair enough, I'm just surprised you could get very far in C++ without knowing those.

Ha, ... thanks :)

Here are the documentation links -
Scope Resolution Operator: ::[^]
Member Access Operators: . and ->[^]

Here is a link for all C++ Operators[^].
