2 files that both depend on each other

[cameron]

How do I get 2 classes to work that both depend on each other?( they are also in different files )
Is there anyway to have them both include each others .h file?
I get hundreds of errors having them include each other.
I am making a MenuWindow class that holds all the different menus and puts it into a class.

Yes, you can define both classes and just have them interact, but the best idea is to have a class with both inside, it just makes things simpler.

You need to make sure however, that when you use a class which is defined before another, that you pre-define it (or whatever it's called)
IE:

Code: Select all

//this is temp2.h
#include "Temp.h"

class A;

class B{
public:
B();
~B();
private:
A a;
};

Code: Select all

//this is temp.h
#include "Temp2.h"
class A{
public:
A();
~A();
private:
B b;
};

why not put them in the same file?
and well for 2 classes to refer to each other the later defined class has to be declared before the 1st defined class, ex:

Code: Select all

class Obj2;

class Obj1 {
	Obj2 obj2;
};

class Obj2 {
	Obj1 obj1;
};

edit: lol, seems i was late

Thanks both of you.
