My problem is that I don't know how to run Window.cpp when Choice = 1 in Main.cpp. This is my idea of what should happen:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
 
cout << "Please choose: ";

		cin >> Choice; 

		switch (Choice)
		{
			default:
				Choice = 0; break;
			case 1:
				/*Start Window.cpp*/ break;
			case 2:...


amidoinitrite? Am I completely misusing my .cpp and .h files?

Any and all help is appreciated!

A program can only have one main function. If you want to share a variable between functions you can pass it as an argument to the function. Another (less recommended) way is to use global variables that can be used by any function.

your Window.h are not a .h file it is .cc file.
Window.h file will look like this.

You include *.h files, not *.cpp files.

#pragma once is a directive for *.h files.
