Good call, thank you evilrix :)

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a place in my code where I'm using the syntax:<br />
<br />
someClassPtr-&gt;someClassMet<wbr />hod();<br />
<br />
someClassPtr is initialized with dynamic memory, and the method someClassMethod() is defined in the .h file and .cpp files correctly. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I get the error &quot;Pointer to incomplete class type is not allowed. &nbsp; &nbsp;error #393&quot;<br />
<br />
Is there any common reason for this error -- any hints about where I may have made my typo? (I can't really post the code given the work nature, but I was hoping that someone could suggest a reason this error appears in code in general.) <br />
<br />
Thanks for the help in advance!<br />

(Compiler Error) Pointer to incomplete class type not allowed

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once
