Hi, i need help creating a copy constructor.
i have a class called CElist (and another called CEmployee)
and it contains methods like this one:

bool CElist::getFirst(CEmployee& e)
{
//do some stuff
//sets e to the first employee and returns true
//returns false if it cant
}

my problem is with the copy constructor:

CElist::CElist(const CElist& eList)
{
CEmployee newEmp;
eList.getFirst(newEmp); //this is the error part! --> cannot convert 'this' pointer from 'const class CElist' to 'class CElist &'

this.setFirst(newEmp);
//do other stuff
}

i dont think im changing the eList right? Right now the only solution i can think of is to create a different function that returns the first CEmployee, not a bool...
>< thanks for any help
