Classes: Variables& Functions

Prozak · 2001-11-23T16:03:38

Hi all, when, in a class we access a variable, cant we make it so that it triggers a call to a function? lets say we have the class "car" with variables "doorstatus" if i did a class.doorstatus="closed"; i would like this call to trigger the calling of another function, that would then actually "close" the door. if anyone understands what i''m talking about here, then please help me out on this one, thanx, Hugo Ferreira UniteK Future "Concentrate, and you can see it.

yes, just use conversion operators. They are sort of the opposite of constructors.

ok, so i''ve just started relearning c++, but i think you people are reading into this too much.
can''t you just make an accessor function, and put the other stuff in there?

  class Feh  {  private:    bool p_doorclosed;  public:    bool getDoorClosed(void) {return p_doorclosed;};    void setDoorClosed(bool IsClosed)      {      p_doorclosed = IsClosed;      if (p_doorclosed) DoOtherStuff();      };  };

that''d do it, no?
without making new classes or overloading operators?
