I am trying to get to work tried a couple different ways but i am still very new and don't know how to yet
index.cpp

#include "outline.h"
#include "TFP.h"
int main()
{	toonOutline playerToon;
	toonFillPrint::fill(playerToon);
        return 0;
}

outline.h

#include <string>
struct toonOutline
{ <toon info>
};

TFP.h

#pragma once
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
class toonFillPrint
{
public:
	TFP(void);
	~TFP(void);
	void static fill(toonOutline&);
	void static print(toonOutline);
};

TFP.cpp

#pragma once
#include "toonFillPrint.h"
TFP::TFP(void)
{
}

TFP::~TFP(void)
{
}
void TFP::fill(toonOutline& toon)
{
	<fills in the toon info>	
}
void toonFillPrint::print(toonOutline toon)
{
        cout<< <toon info>
}

I get the error that says "syntax error : identifer 'toonOutline' in the TFP.h right for the function call fill. i have tried putting #include "outline.h" in the top of the header but i get " 'toonOutline' : 'struct' tyep redefinition" so i know that will not work. but i am not sure how to get it. I would thank you for any help.

You've got the right idea, except that you can't name your constructor or destructor something different than the name of the class.

TFP.h
either

class ToonFillPrint
  {
  public:
    ToonFillPrint();   // constructor
    ~ToonFillPrint();  // destructor
  };

or

class TFP
  {
  public:
    TFP();   // constructor
    ~TFP();  // destructor
  };

TFP.cpp
to match what is above, either

ToonFillPrint::ToonFillPrint()
  {
  // construct me here
  }

or

TFP::TFP()
  {
  // construct me here
  }

Hope this helps.
