ONE Linked List is being visited by 2 iterators,
list<Field *>::iterator i = FieldList.begin();
and
list<Field *>::reverse_iterator rv = FieldList.rbegin();
The Method uses a different one depending
on the incoming parameters.
But.. in the end of the function, it can only refer to one of the like ( (*i)->DisplayFunction(); ),
lets say function started out using rv.
I'll need to change rv (reverse_iterator ) into i (iterator )
How can i do that ? or is there a better (professional) way ....
I think we're going to need an explanation of what you're trying to do. Why to you need to use two different iterator types at the same time?
The reverse one is used because i have to find the last instance of a the datatype i made held in the list with an 'on' flag.
If it's possible that you can change the type of the iterator then change it back that would be great, can you do that.
..or..
start with i then use rv but then put i in rv's place.

The normal way of checking for the end of a list is using the end member function.
list<Field *>::iterator end = FieldList.end();
This will give you one past the end of the list (used a a sentinel).
If you wanted a faster way of reaching the last the last item added to the list without iterating from the start then you could try -
end--;
Then you wouldn't have to try an convert between iterator types.
Sorensen, Thanks a ton for the help .
