I'm working in a GUI environment in Visual Studio 2012

void dealCard(PictureBox swag, Label swaggy)
{
    swag.Image = imageListCards->Images[deck[cardCounter].index];
    swaggy.Text = deck[cardCounter].name + " of " + deck[cardCounter].suit + ", " + deck[cardCounter].value;

    if(cardCounter == 51)
        cardCounter = 0;
    else
        cardCounter++;

}

void dealHand(PictureBox swag, PictureBox swag2, Label swaggy, Label swaggy2)
{
    dealCard(pictureBoxCard4, labelCard4);
    dealCard(pictureBoxCard5, labelCard5);
}

pictureBoxCard4, labelCard4 etc are already in the form that I'm working with. It's not compiling the part dealCard(pictureBoxCard4, labelCard4) or the one below

  • Do I have to use pointers or something to do what I'm trying to do? – Jesse Martinez May 14 '14 at 01:21
  • You should edit the question to include the error, and probably add the c++-cli tag for more visibility. I don't use managed C++, but I would assume from the error message that you're meant to pass those as handles. – Retired Ninja May 14 '14 at 01:30
  • You will have to learn how to use the ^ hat properly for reference types like PictureBox and Label. There are lots of tutorials and books available for C++/CLI, you don't need our help to read them. – Hans Passant May 14 '14 at 02:32

To pass variables through functions you would have to use pointers.
