Hi can someone help me with this code?

i want to write somthing like:

*dataStream >> this;

instead of

*dataSteam >> this->x >> this->q >> this->com;

how can i make the overloading ?
I can't write somthing like

void operator >>(QdataStream *stream, this *p)
{
	...
}

First, you should really want to write *dataStream >> *this rather than *dataStream >> this. In other words, you want to populate the object, not the pointer.

If this is type MyType* then you need to write operator >> (QdataStream &stream, MyType &object). Note that the first object is a reference, not a pointer. The operator should return Qdatastream &. That way you can do

string thatsCool;
*dataStream >> *this >> thatsCool;
