    Unhappy How to Add Buttons in a game in Visual Studio

    Hey Guys,

    I have created a game, but i don't know how to add buttons and i have checked some forums where people has done the code but it doesn't work and i end up messing up my code again and again.
    I need a buttons menu:

    -Main Menu
    -New Game
    - Save Game
    - Load Game
    -Go back to Main Menu
    -Credits(puts my name that's it)
    -Instructions(This will show the users which keys to use, like a manual page)
    -Exit(This will quit the application)
    What will be the best code to make it work? Need Help with this.

    So are
    #include "cSDL2WNDManager.h"
    #include "cGame.h"
    part of some game development toolkit you've neglected to tell us anything about?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    So do you know what a null pointer is?

    The this pointer shouldn't be null in any normal circumstance.

    If you don't, then perhaps you need to practice your basic c++ skills.

    so what should i change that NULL into? i m just being confused too much since i have to meet a deadline, earlier the program was working even with NULL pointer but since i added the buttons, i managed to fix it but then this null pointer is showing up every time i build my program. Need help asap so i fix this and make my program run.
