term does not evaluate to a function

[:db:sStrong]

Hi all

I get an error which says: term does not evaluate to a function
the following is my constructor


CIm::CIm(QString filename, QWidget * p, const char * n, CV *Vi, WFlags f ) : ImBase( p, n ), m_Vi( Vi )
and the error occours on following twee lines:


FileA = &(Vi()->getFileA());
FileB = &(Vi()->getFileB());

if ( FileA)
{
//
}
if ( FileB )
{
//
}
can someone help me?
thanks in advance

how are FileA and FileB declared ??
it seems u are using some function name without the brackets() ....

"Vi" is not a function (it's a variable) and you call it as such.

how are FileA and FileB declared ??
it seems u are using some function name without the brackets() ....




CFileA * FileA;
CFileB * FileB;



and if i remove this these two line i do not get a compiler error..




FileA = &(Vi()->getFileA());

FileB = &(Vi()->getFileB());


@wysota

Vi is a function ans is made as such


CVi *Vi() { return m_Vi; }

No, it's not. You have a parameter "CV *Vi" in the constructor that shadows the function. Change the argument name.

@Wyosta
I cant change that argument because CV is a class and i assign a pointer
to CV class and thats why it is "CV* Vi"
