    <p>Hullo, first time asking a question! I have 3 classes, CharacterBuilder, which is an abstract class, BullyCharacterBuilder, which inherits from CharacterBuilder and redefines one of its functions, and Character, which is a generic class full of ints with accessors/mutators that I need to use.</p> <p>I define a pointer to Character in CharacterBuilder.h like so:</p> <pre><code> #ifndef CHARACTERBUILDER_H #define CHARACTERBUILDER_H #include "Character.h" class CharacterBuilder { public: Character* getCharacter(); void createNewCharacter(); virtual void buildCharacter(int level) = 0; protected: Character* leeroy; }; #endif </code></pre> <p>CharacterBuilder.cpp</p> <pre><code> #include "CharacterBuilder.h" #include "Character.h" Character* leeroy; Character* CharacterBuilder::getCharacter() { return leeroy; } void CharacterBuilder::createNewCharacter(){ leeroy = new Character; } </code></pre> <p>Then I inherit publicly from CharacterBuilder in my BullyCharacterBuilder class like so:</p> <pre><code>#ifndef BULLYCHARACTERBUILDER_H #define BULLYCHARACTERBUILDER_H #include "Character.h" #include "CharacterBuilder.h" class CharacterBuilder; class BullyCharacterBuilder : public CharacterBuilder{ CharacterBuilder* myParent; void buildCharacter(int level); }; #endif </code></pre> <p>Finally, in the cpp file for my BullyCharacterBuilder, I attempt to call accessor/mutators from the Character pointer (which I assume I've inherited from CharacterBuilder) like so:</p> <pre><code>#include "Character.h" #include "BullyCharacterBuilder.h" #include "CharacterBuilder.h" void buildCharacter(int level){ leeroy-&gt;setAbilityScores(); } </code></pre> <p>When I attempt to do this, I get <strong>Error: identifier "leeroy" is undefined</strong> It might be a dumb question but I tried searching for this particular problem on stackoverflow and google using every combination of keywords I could think of. Would be much obliged to any help!</p>

    1. COYou need to be in a method of CharacterBuilder or one of its children to access leeroy. You can't define buildCharacter like that if you want it to be a method of BullyCharacterBuilder.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
