Thread: C++ changing void pointer to something else

hey all,

have situation user input determine kind of object created in program. object wrapped class. user's input needs invoke object creation @ execution. issue higher level classes need generic way call object:

car object -> (enginea object, engineb object, enginec object...etc)

enginea,b,c have same function calls (that car object sees anyway). need persistent pointer points either a, b, or c (which decided @ runtime). thought create void pointer , change type of pointer is, think understanding on little off. need create pointer , have point different object depending on runtime. possible?

i think i've seen stuff before:

code:

void *myvoidptr;  int *myintptr;  int myint;    myinptr = &myint;    myvoidptr = (void *) myintptr;

syntax may little off, general idea type-cast it.
