operator overloading

[zfrsen]

i inherited a TPanel component and tried to overlaod its operator<. but my operation was useless as i saw when i debugged the code, my operator< does not work indeed.
here is what i have done;
this is my class;
class MyClassublic TPanel

this is my operator<;
bool MyClass:perator<(const MyClass* y)const
{
if(w < y->GetW())
{
return false;
}
if(w==y->GetW())
{
if(h < y->GetH())
return false;
else
return true;
}
else
return true;
};

and this is my declaration;
HIDESBASE bool operator<(const MyClass *)const;

what have i forgatten?, any idea?

What about it isn't working?

It's kind of strange to see a pointer as the parameter, usually people use references.
Also, it would work better if you made this a non-member non-friend function instead of a class member function.

I think you've got a bug. What if both h and w are equal? In that case, since you're comparing for <, the function should return false, but you're returning true instead.
