SurfaceExtractor Parameter Error

I am having a terrible time trying to get the surface extractor to work, and I was hoping someone here might be able to help me.

Visual Studio claims the first parameter I'm passing and the expected parameter are exactly the same yet throws an error and says what I am passing is not what the surface extractor is expecting.

No instance of constructor ... matches the argument list

I don't understand what I could be doing wrong. My volume is created using a pointer so I should be able to pass the pointer. I have to create my volume this way because I am using classes.

Does anyone know what my error is?

Thanks

Code:

Ogre::ManualObject* WorldManager::createManObj(Region reg, Ogre::SceneManager* mSceneMgr, string name, LargeVolume<MaterialDensityPair44> * volData)
{
      //Extract the surface
   // only need single extractor since will extract single mesh first
   SurfaceMesh<PositionMaterialNormal>* MaterialAll = new SurfaceMesh<PositionMaterialNormal>();
   SurfaceMesh<PositionMaterialNormal>* mesh = new SurfaceMesh<PositionMaterialNormal>();

   SurfaceExtractor<LargeVolume, MaterialDensityPair44> surfaceExtractor(volData, reg, &MaterialAll);

your third argument "MaterialAll" is already a pointer... getting the address of that returns a SurfaceMesh** and tries to stuff that into the surface extractor.

Wow....

I assumed my other arguments were correct because they were not highlighted by the intellisense....

That worked. I suppose I learned my lesson don't rely on intellisense!

Thanks for the help!

Furthermore, don't just rely on the message in the 'Errors and Warnings' window. If you select the message in this window and then switch to the 'Output' window you get a more detailed message where it would actually list the different types in the example above.
