Thread: Passing a set to a template function

Hi all,

I'm writing this template class and one of the template functions you pass a std::set to of a template type which then returns one of the elements in the set (which is of course a template type). I have wrote it and it compiles fine, however when i cant seem to use the function correctly without the compiler giving an error. Here is what im trying to do.

This is the template stuff

Code:

template<typename myType>
class MyTemplateClass
{
 public:

const myType& PickElement (cont std::set<myType>& mySet) const
{
 // returns one of the elements in the set
}

};

Now how do i use the above function? This is what i have currently got:

Code:

std::set<MyEnum> enumSet ;
MyEnum res ;

res = PickElement<MyEnum>(enumSet) ;

EDIT:
Doing a full rebuild resulted in a different error:

The compiler generates the following error:

Code:

error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'overloaded-function' to 'MyEnum'

Thanks for any help

PickElement is not a templated function. simply call it like:

Code:

res = PickElement(enumSet) ;
