Stupid Me...... Crashes

Is it possible, from looking at this ....thing.... from my program, to tell if this goodamn function has a bug? it compiles, but when i try and run it in main..... results are spectacular. Program crashes (not winblows tho), once i got beeps, blah.

Code:

---

class GuiElement {
public :
        bool OutOfBounds        ();                                                //Returns true if box will not fit on screen.

        int ChangePosition        ( int ArgPos, int ArgYPos );

if you took the time to read all of this uncommented..... kudos to you (what is a kudo??)

Thanks for the couple of hours youll spend scratching your head in confusion and derision :)

(edit) sorry about the tabs - they look fine in my IDE.... i have weird settings on tabs.

Your indexing szText with an uninitialized variable.
This would be easy to find using a debugger.

gg

SCHIEZER!! i havent figgerd out the debugger on devc++ yet - all i can do is set break points and look at thebacktrace.....
thanks

ok, so that didnt fix it. i scattered pauses all through.....

SCHIEZER - more uninitialised variables! all through the damn thing!!!

thanks for helping find the base source of my woes though.
