int main(){

	ShippingContainer *theShippingContainer[6] ;
	theShippingContainer[0] =	new ManualShippingContainer;
	theShippingContainer[1] =	new ManualShippingContainer;
	theShippingContainer[2] =	new ManualShippingContainer;

	for(int i = 0; i < 3; i ++){
		
        theShippingContainer[i]->setContainerID();
		//theShippingContainer[i]->getContainerID();
        theShippingContainer[i]->getContent();//this one
	}


	system( "pause" );//System Pause
	return 0;
}

the error state the ShippingContainer don't have the member of getContent() , but i thought the pointer already point to the ManualShippingContainer ? @@

because you have to access it through "ManualShippingContainer". this is because "ShippingContainer" don't have "getContent" function, instead "ManualShippingContainer" does have... you should declare the "getContent()" using virtual
