[SOLVED] variable scope

[harry]

hi

in my button.h file i have this:

private:
    int size;

and in my button.cpp file i have this code:

int getSize() {
    return size;
}

the problem that drives me nuts is that when i try to build, i get an error " 'size' was not declared in this scope" on the 'return size;' line. what am i doing wrong? i declare the variable in the header, so why is it 'not declared in this scope'?

Hi
is that a member of a class?
int size; I mean

then syntax is:

int SomeClass::getSize() {
return size;
}

else it just a normal function and it doesn't know any size to return as its not defined in the function or as global.

Note: SomeClass is the class that "int size" is defined in.
