term does not evaluate to a function

Hi all

I get an error which says: term does not evaluate to a function
the following is my constructor

Code:

---

CIm::CIm(QString filename,  QWidget * p, const char * n, CV  *Vi, WFlags f ) : ImBase( p, n ), m_Vi( Vi )

---

and the error occours on following twee lines:

Code:

---

FileA = &(Vi()->getFileA());
	FileB = &(Vi()->getFileB());
 
	if ( FileA) 
	{
		//
	}
	if ( FileB ) 
	{
		//
	}

---

can someone help me?
thanks in advance

how are FileA and FileB declared ??
it seems u are using some function name without the brackets() ....

"Vi" is not a function (it's a variable) and you call it as such.

Code:

---

CFileA * FileA;
CFileB * FileB;

---

and if i remove this these two line i do not get a compiler error..

Code:

---

FileA = &(Vi()->getFileA());
 
    FileB = &(Vi()->getFileB());

@wysota

Vi is a function ans is made as such

Code:

---

CVi *Vi() { return m_Vi; }

---

No, it's not. You have a parameter "CV *Vi" in the constructor that shadows the function. Change the argument name.

@Wyosta
I cant change that argument because CV is a class and i assign a pointer
to CV class and thats why it is "CV* Vi"
