Perhaps because it really isn't a member function? Unless you say which 
function, there isn't much to help you with.

Both :)

wxApp doesn't have the method, so you can't call it. You should cast the 
pointer to appropriate type:

MyApp *myapp = dynamic_cast<MyApp *)(wxApp);
if (myapp)
	myapp->whaever();
