    Weird Inheritence Error

    The error message I get is this.

    Code:
    C:\Programming\4x\ClientCode\SplashManager.cpp(81) : error C2039: 'LoadMenuA' : is not a member of 'sGameMode'
            c:\programming\4x\clientcode\mode.h(36) : see declaration of 'sGameMode'
    My code is gigantic, Ill just cut out the relavant parts to make this easy to read.

    Code:
    struct sShared {
    public:
    	sGameMode* mode;		
    };
    
    
    struct sGameMode {
    public:
    	sGameMode() {
    		mode = GAMEMODE_LOAD_SPLASH;
    	}
    	~sGameMode() {
    	}
    
    	//batch
    	void LoadSplash() {
    		mode = GAMEMODE_LOAD_SPLASH;
    	}
    	void LoadMenu() {
    		mode = GAMEMODE_LOAD_MENU;
    	}
    	void Quit() {
    		mode = GAMEMODE_QUIT;
    	}
    	void Exit() {
    		mode = GAMEMODE_EXIT;
    	}
    
    	//Only return a load mode one time, increment to the actual mode after
    	short GetMode() { 
    		short m = mode;
    		switch(mode) {
    		case GAMEMODE_LOAD_SPLASH:
    		case GAMEMODE_LOAD_MENU:
    			mode++;
    			break;
    		}
    		return m; 
    	}
    
    private:
    
    	short mode;
    };
    
    
    class cSplashManager : public sShared {
    public:
    	cSplashManager();
    	~cSplashManager();
    	void Process(float* rate);
    
    private:
    	//data structures
    	sSplash* current;
    
    	//fade functionality
    	bool fadein;
    	float accum;
    };
    
    void cSplashManager::Process(float* rate) {
    	//increment the accum value based on in our out
    	if(fadein) 
    		accum += *rate;
    	else 
    		accum -= *rate;
    
    	//check to see if we need to change direction
    	if(accum > 1.5f) 
    		fadein = false;
    
    	//check to see if we are done
    	else if(accum < -0.25f)
    		mode->LoadMenu();  //COMPILER ERROR HERE
    
    	//set the current color based on this value
    	current->color->SetA(accum);
    }

    Try changing the name of LoadMenu to something completely unique (like GameModeLoadMenu123). Make sure to update that name everywhere you use it.

    The error reference to LoadMenuA makes me think that a Windows typedef or #define is conflicting with your method names.

    If that doesn't work, then try to make a small, compilable example that demonstrates the problem.
