Thread: How to you use values from other function in the same class?

Code:

#include "Shapes.h"
#include "Global.h"


#include <iostream>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>


Shapes::Shapes()
{
    //ctor
}


Shapes::~Shapes()
{
    //dtor
}


void Shapes::setShapes()
{
    MainButton1.setSize(sf::Vector2f(100,80));
    MainButton1.setPosition(sf::Vector2f( ScreenWidth/ 10 , ScreenHeight / 4 ));
    MainButton1.scale(2,1);
    MainButton1.setFillColor(sf::Color::White);
    MainButton1.setOutlineColor(sf::Color::Black);
    MainButton1.setOutlineThickness(3);


    MainButton2.setSize(sf::Vector2f(100,80));
    MainButton2.setPosition(sf::Vector2f( ScreenWidth/ 10 , ScreenHeight / 2.5 ));
    MainButton2.scale(2,1);
    MainButton2.setFillColor(sf::Color::White);
    MainButton2.setOutlineColor(sf::Color::Black);
    MainButton2.setOutlineThickness(3);


    MainButton1RED.setSize(sf::Vector2f(100,80));
    MainButton1RED.setPosition(sf::Vector2f( ScreenWidth/ 10 , ScreenHeight / 4 ));
    MainButton1RED.scale(2,1);
    MainButton1RED.setFillColor(sf::Color::Yellow);
    MainButton1RED.setOutlineColor(sf::Color::Black);
    MainButton1RED.setOutlineThickness(3);


    MainButton2RED.setSize(sf::Vector2f(100,80));
    MainButton2RED.setPosition(sf::Vector2f( ScreenWidth/ 10 , ScreenHeight / 2.5 ));
    MainButton2RED.scale(2,1);
    MainButton2RED.setFillColor(sf::Color::Yellow);
    MainButton2RED.setOutlineColor(sf::Color::Black);
    MainButton2RED.setOutlineThickness(3);


}


void Shapes::ChangeButtonColor( int buttonNum )
{
    if( buttonNum == 1) // this in main
    {
        buttonCOLOR = 1;
        setButtonColor(buttonCOLOR);
    }
    else if ( buttonNum == 2) // this in main
    {
        buttonCOLOR = 2;
        setButtonColor(buttonCOLOR);
    }
    else if ( buttonNum == 0) // this in main
    {
        buttonCOLOR = 0;
        setButtonColor(buttonCOLOR);
    }


}


int Shapes::setButtonColor(int buttonColor)
{
    this->buttonCOLOR = buttonCOLOR;
    return buttonCOLOR;
}


void Shapes::Draw(sf::RenderWindow &VoteApp)
{


    if( 0 == buttonCOLOR )
    {
        VoteApp.draw(MainButton1);
        VoteApp.draw(MainButton2);
        std::cout << "should paint the two buttons white" << std::endl;
    }
    else if( 1 == buttonCOLOR)
    {
        VoteApp.draw(MainButton1RED);
        VoteApp.draw(MainButton2);
        std::cout << "should paint the button 1 yellow" << std::endl;
    }
    else if( 2 == buttonCOLOR )
    {
        VoteApp.draw(MainButton2RED);
        VoteApp.draw(MainButton1);
        std::cout << "should paint the button 2 yellow" << std::endl;
    }


    std::cout << "buttonColor: " << buttonCOLOR << std::endl;
}

I don't understand why it print out buttonColor : 72, instead of the value from the Shapes::setButtonColor(int buttonCOLOR) function. How do I make the buttonCOLOR from Shapes::ChangeButtonColor(int buttonNum) to have the same value in the Shapes::raw(sf::RenderWindow &VoteApp) function?

then how?? I still have no clue..

I guess I'll just have to put another parameter to all functions and make it work.

In setButtonColor you passed in an integer named "buttonColor" but don't use it. buttonColor is not the same as buttonCOLOR, but this does seem to be the problem.
