Mark, wait.
I didn't say all I write is gramatically correct; I make mistakes sometimes.
BUT, isn't the construction I just asked you in this thread valid ?

I'm just goofin with you here, of course.

I see it now sorry
Yeah you are right I think. The more I say both versions, yours sounds better.
And using "was" implies past tense which seems silly.

And you're right [^]. Anyway it looks like 'wish ' is needed in the sentence.

Hi
I was in the understanding that if you declare a static function it can only be called from the source file where it is declared.
Am I missing something??
The error says "unresolved external symbol"
the call to the function is in file1.cpp where I have:
myClass::myFunction(variable1, variable2);
In myClass.h I have:
class myClass
{
static void myFunction
}
and in myClass.cpp I have the function definition:
myClass::myFunction()
{
//function definition
}
I can't call myFunction from file1.cpp
As you can tell I am a novice programmer and in desperate need of explanation

Yes That would make calling any external functions
impossible.
steph5 wrote: I can't call myFunction from file1.cpp
The linker can't find myClass.obj.
Is myClass.cpp not part of the project?

That's true.

Yes: in

is not an ordinary (i.e. C-style ) static function, is a static method (i.e is a member of the class even if you don't need an instance of the class to call it).

Huh? I call static methods that aren't in the same

class myClass

public:

};
void <code>myClass::</code>StaticMethod()
{
}
void somefunc()
{
myClass::StaticMethod();
}
Maybe you forgot the part in red above...

Actually his sentence, steph5 wrote: I was in the understanding that if you declare a static function it can only be called from the source file where it is declared.
and yours Mark Salsbery wrote: Huh? I call static methods that aren't in the same

are not in conflict: standard (i.e C -like, not belonging to a class ) static functions have file scope, while static methods have not such a constraint.

C++ (actually Bjarne Stroustrup) don't talk about methods (which is more correct to Java/C#), but talks about member variables and member functions.

OOP talks about methods. C++ use its own jargon to name the same entity.

Any ideas how I can have a function I can call from anywhere
but where I don't need an instance of the class to call it?
|
|
|
|
|
You can call a static method of a class from other cpp files!
You need to link the files however.
The problem is in your project - the linker isn't finding
the file with the function being called. Fix that and it
will work.
The two files in your example ARE in the same project, right?

yes all the files are incluceded in the same project.
how do I make sure the linker finds the file?
The thing is I can call myClass::myFunction() from one of the .cpp files in the project,
but I can't call it from another .cpp file in the same project. whats going on?
Thanks for your time

Does anyone have a code that can read an image and transform the pixels to a 2d array. in C++?
I know this is something really common, but i can not find that code anywhere.
Thanks alot

Thanks for your reply..
Can CxImage be used on the windows mobile 6 platform?

I'm not going to write the code for you, but you could easily
use the CImage class to load the image.
Once the image is loaded, CImage::GetBits(), CImage::GetPitch(),
CImage::GetWidth(), CImage::GetHeight() can be used to copy the pixel
data to an array.
