Ok, thanks, I feared using void pointers too would give me an Access Violation...
Anyway, would you care to show me how the template soloution would look like?
EDIT: I''m abit offtopic here, right?
class FirstClass{ bool boolvalue; int someValue;}class secondclass{ bool boolvalue; float someValue;}template <typename T, class G>void SomeFunction( T tInput, G gInput){ if(gInput.boolvalue == true) { gInput.someValue += tInput; }} Something like that. This is off the top of my head, but you would be able to pass any type T and any class to the function. The function assumes that any class passed to it has boolValue and someValue. I would really look up articles on the web to find out about templates and when you are comfortable with templates, learn STL.

Prince Wang''s programmer was coding software. His fingers danced upon the
keyboard. The program compiled without an error message and ran like a
gentle wind.
"Excellent!" the Prince exclaimed. "Your technique is faultless!"
"Technique?" said the programmer, turning from his terminal, "What I follow
is Tao -- beyond all techniques! When I first began to program, I would see
before me the whole problem in one mass. After three years, I no longer saw
this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing. My whole
being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit, free to
work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program writes
itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them coming, I
slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code and the
difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the program.
I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my eyes for
a moment and then log off."
