Arguments in function

[Arowana]

Hi, I know this is a easy question but no one knows everythyng.

In my program i add a c++ file where i create a function.
In that function i want to pass two diferents arguments but one at a time in diferents ocasions.

ex.
CProcura dlg;//modal dialog box class

if(flag==1)

int x=Procura(dlg.m_name);
else
int x=Procura(dlg.m_number);

where m_name is a CString type and m_number is a int type.

The function was declared like: int Procura(void z);

Is that possible and correct?

Thank you in advance!

yes, if you do:

int Procura(void z){
char *a;
int b;

if(flag==1){
a = (char *) z;
}else{
b = (int ) z;
}

}

Excuse me, but the best approach would be defining two OVERLOADED functions:
int Procura(CString s)
{
//...
}

int Procura(int i)
{
//...
}

Hi,
What is it (void z)? It is a nonsense.
The code of afe is good. I think, also a good code is
template<class t>int Procura(t argument)
{
.....;
return something;
}

My vote is to do like afe suggests and create two overloaded functions that accept the correct datatypes.
