Hi all,

I've run across yet another problem (learning C++/U++ is more difficult than I first imagined.) Because my project is quite large and I'm such a novice, I thought it would be a good idea to separate my code into separate files with intuitive names. I decided to try doing it with my Splash Screen and the code looks like this.

main.cpp

/* BRAIN BOX MAIN.CPP */

#include "BrainBox.h"

....


/* Run the program Loop */
GUI_APP_MAIN
{	
	splashScreen().Run();
	Ctrl::ProcessEvent();

	// Open the mainWindow
    mainWindow().Run();
}

BrainBox.h

#ifndef _BrainBox_BrainBox_h_
#define _BrainBox_BrainBox_h_

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>
#include <Core/Core.h>
#include <stdio.h>


using namespace Upp;


//Load Layouts
#define LAYOUTFILE <BrainBox/Layouts.lay>
#include <CtrlCore/lay.h>


// Load Images
#define IMAGECLASS Images
#define IMAGEFILE <BrainBox/images.iml>
#include <Draw/iml.h>




// Declarations
//Guessing some sort of declaration for the function needs to be made here?

#endif

SplashScreen.cpp

/* Splash Screen File */
#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>

using namespace Upp;

struct splashScreen : TopWindow
{
	splashScreen()
	{
		Title("Splash Screen");
		SetRect(0, 0, 200, 300);
	}
};

I can't link these files together and I'm assuming it has something to do with the Header File. Can anybody help? Sorry I'm so bad at this.

Thanks so much, in advance
