Hi everybody, I’m new to Rust.

So, I have a struct Panel which contains a data widget which implements the trait Widget I have to implement a function for Panel that uses another function that requires a type that implements Widget.

I tried Box<T>, Rc<T>, Box<dyn Widget, &T, but nothing, always compiler errors.

How can I fix this?

    That function takes ownership of the Widget, there’s no borrowing here. Maybe that’s the problem, that you’re passing a reference instead of the actual object?

    So, if you have a Panel containing the Widget, the function you’re calling render_widget in has to take self, not &self or &mut self.

    Alternatively, you can use data: Option<T> in Panel, let the function take &mut self and then use self.data.take() to move it out of self.

      I checked the code and noticed that I wrote &self as the parameter 🤦🏻

      Now everything works. Thanks man
