Accessing methods of class which extends vector?

[JediDan]

Hello,

I have a class:

class Deck : vector<Card*>

When I try to access typical vector methods...

Card * c = new Card(...);
Deck myDeck;
myDeck.push_back(c);

I get an error: [tt]error C2247: 'std::vector<_Ty>:ush_back' not accessible because 'Deck' uses 'private' to inherit from 'std::vector<_Ty>'[/tt]

I am creating the class because I want to be able to add additional operations on the vector, but obviously still want to access the native methods. What do I need to do?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

private inheritance by default, use

class Deck : public vector<Card*>

STL classes are bad parents, avoid this. STL classes/templates describe completed functionality, use them as bricks, not as parents.
