How does this function call work: functionOne().functionTwo()

[raptoger]

I have seen this syntax in some code and can't figure it out.
Other times is function()->function2()
I thought we could do that only for class/object members, structs,

the method function() would be returning a object and thats wahy we arecalling like this

Could you please elaborate a bit more? I need to have this clear because I'm studying QT and C# and I'm seeing this syntax for the first time.

I see something like this in QT: filesMenu.addAc tion().addMenu( "&File");
I see something like this in C#: server.GetLastE rror().Message;

Thanks

In the first example, the addAction() method presumably returns the added Action class (I'm extrapolating, the names aren't necessarily exact), from which you then call its addMenu method with that parameter. In the second, the getLastError() method would return an Error object, from which you call the Message() method, which presumably returns a string describing the error.

That is pretty good ! Concept understood.
Thanks for the time
