static class trouble

beginners
#1

Hi folks, i want to get a class static, because i don’t need objects of it. All works pretty well but when i use

ofxXmlSettings XML;

in the header file i get problems. Is there any way to use the XML object (or objects in general) in a static class?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/743203/accessing-static-class-variables-in-c should help answer your question about the why of this. The short answer is:

h

  
class testApp : public ofBaseApp{  
	public:  
	void setup();  
        static ofPixels p2;  
};

cpp

  
  
ofPixels testApp::p2;  
  
void testApp::setup(){  
    p2.allocate(640, 480, 1);  
}
