Thanks for the reply. But I am still unsure where I should invoke this
static method.
1) I need the member variables initialized...and if I cant do it in the
constructor, then where should I?
2) Also, your sample code does not use shared_from_this() ... I would like
to learn how to correctly use shared_from_this() because I'll be using it in
other places in my code too.
Thanks,
/C.

TextTool::TextTool(QDialog *taskDialogue) : Tool(this->name) { boost::shared_ptr<TextTool> pointerToThis = TextTool::shared_from_this(); //ERROR OCCURS ON THIS LINE
bold = boost::shared_ptr<ToggleControl>(new ToggleControl(pointerToThis)); }
You cannot call shared_from_this in the constructor. Instead, you can define a static constructing method, like this:
// untested!! static boost::shared_ptr<TextTool> TextTool::create(QDialog *taskDialogue) { boost::shared_ptr<TextTool> pointerToThis(new TextTool(taskDialogue)); pointerToThis->bold.reset(new ToggleControl(pointerToThis)); return pointerToThis; } _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
