SDL error

I'm following this tutorial for sdl that is kind of not clear in some points so I tried to do what I could and it gave me this error

Code:

C:\Users\Bijan\Documents\C++ Programs\SDL tutorial\main.cpp|158|error: request for member `x' in `((Button*)this)->Button::box', which is of non-class type `SDL_Rect*'|

here is my code

Code:

box is pointer

use box->x = x;

good luck!

(and btw, unless you edited the SDL libraries or have an old version ... SDL_Image has a lowercase i in its name, not Image.. its image)

Thanks!
