Hi,

I have a vector of pointers to Mouse objects called 'mice'. I'm passing the mice to the cat by reference.

vector <Mouse*> mice;
Cat * c;

c->lookForMouse(&mice);

And here's my lookForMouse() member function

void Cat::lookForMouse(vector <Mouse*> *mice)
{
  ...
}

And now to the problem! Within the function above, I can't seem to access my mice. This below will not work

mice[i]->isActive();

The error message I receive suggests to use mice[i].isActive(), but this throws an error saying isActive() is not a member of std::vector<_Ty> ...

This works though...

vector <Mouse*> miceCopy = *mice;
miceCopy[i]->isActive();

I understand that I shouldn't be creating another vector of mice here, it defeats the whole point of passing it by reference (let me know if I'm wrong)...

Why can't I do mice[i]->isActive() What should I be doing?

Thanks for your time and help :D

James.
