Accessing Members of Containing Objects from Contained Objects.
- by Bunkai.Satori
If I have several levels of object containment (one object defines and instantiates another object which define and instantiate another object..), is it possible to get access to upper, containing - object variables and functions, please?
Example:
class CObjectOne
{
public:
CObjectOne::CObjectOne() { Create(); };
void Create();
std::vector<ObjectTwo>vObejctsTwo;
int nVariableOne;
}
bool CObjectOne::Create()
{
CObjectTwo ObjectTwo(this);
vObjectsTwo.push_back(ObjectTwo);
}
class CObjectTwo
{
public:
CObjectTwo::CObjectTwo(CObjectOne* pObject)
{
pObjectOne = pObject;
Create();
};
void Create();
CObjectOne* GetObjectOne(){return pObjectOne;};
std::vector<CObjectTrhee>vObjectsTrhee;
CObjectOne* pObjectOne;
int nVariableTwo;
}
bool CObjectTwo::Create()
{
CObjectThree ObjectThree(this);
vObjectsThree.push_back(ObjectThree);
}
class CObjectThree
{
public:
CObjectThree::CObjectThree(CObjectTwo* pObject)
{
pObjectTwo = pObject;
Create();
};
void Create();
CObjectTwo* GetObjectTwo(){return pObjectTwo;};
std::vector<CObjectsFour>vObjectsFour;
CObjectTwo* pObjectTwo;
int nVariableThree;
}
bool CObjectThree::Create()
{
CObjectFour ObjectFour(this);
vObjectsFour.push_back(ObjectFour);
}
main()
{
CObjectOne myObject1;
}
Say, that from within CObjectThree I need to access nVariableOne in CObjectOne. I would like to do it as follows:
int nValue = vObjectThree[index].GetObjectTwo()->GetObjectOne()->nVariable1;
However, after compiling and running my application, I get Memory Access Violation error.
What is wrong with the code above(it is example, and might contain spelling mistakes)?
Do I have to create the objects dynamically instead of statically?
Is there any other way how to achieve variables stored in containing objects from withing contained objects?
