Error on the mouse input

[dudedude1234]

Im having a problem with this method

bool StartScreen::isTextClicked()
{
    auto state = m_mouse->Get().GetState();

    RECT rect =
    {
        state.x, state.y, static_cast<long>(m_fontPos.x), static_cast<long>(m_fontPos.y)
    };


    if (rect(state.positionMode()))
        return true;


    //Otherwise, don't do anything
    return false;

}

The "rect" and "state" method on this

    if (rect(state.positionMode()))
        return true;

keeps putting out this

E0109	expression preceding parentheses of apparent call must have (pointer-to-) function type

The output of the Error Window can be confusing, so I recommend looking at the actual compiler output in the Build window instead for details.

That said, this does not look like valid C++ code:

    if (rect(state.positionMode()))
        return true;

rect is a RECT struct and doesn't have an operator().

The error is probably because this syntax state.positionMode() is trying to treat the simple value of state.positionMode as a function pointer. It isn't a method, so you'd just use state.positionMode.

As with previous questions, you'd be well served to spend some time reading over a basic C/C++ programming tutorial.
