I have a base class Shape, then 3 more which inherit from this: Square, Triangle and Circle. I have an array of Triangle objects, and am working with virtual functions using polymorphism. If I make a pointer to the first element of the Triangle array, I can use ptr->Draw(); to display this. To get to the second element I can use ptr++;, then the draw method applies to the second element. My problem is that I need to make the pointer of type Shape, then set it to point the the first element of the Triangle array. This first one works, but when I use ptr++; to move to the second element it becomes a pointer to some address which I can only imagine would be the next array of Shapes, so basically it doesn't advance the Triangle array. Is there any way to be able to loop through each element in Triangle apart from making a pointer array to each element? Thanks

I think you should post some code. My guess is that you are declaring an array of Triangles and should be declaring an array of Shapes. Maybe some casting involved after that. Guy

I've done it a different way now, I simply call the function from a loop, passing it the next element each time. Thanks anyway.
