Simple namespace question

Hi

I apologize if this is more of a C++ question, but I believe that it has a really simple answer.

I'm using namespaces in one of my libraries, and I have the following:

Code:

---

namespace MyNameSpace {
    class MyClass {
        MyClass();
        ~MyClass();
 
        QWidget* getWidget();
    };
}

---

Now, whenever I call getWidget(), I get the following error message.

error: cannot convert `QWidget*' to `MyNameSpace::QWidget*' in assignment.

What am I doing wrong? I don't understand why it would think that QWidget is part of the namespace.

Thanks for any advice.

How do you call it? Show us the source code.

You probably have a "class QWidget" or "#include <QWidget>" statement inside the namespace. Move it outside (or add it there if you don't have it already) and the problem should go away.

Aha! Thanks for the responses. It seems like a "class QWidget;" forward declaration did indeed slip into the wrong place inside the namespace.

Thanks for the help.
