I'm having some programming problems.

So here's what's happening:

in my .ino file, i have a "tft" variable which holds the connection to a lcd. I want to make a class which can either automatically access that "tft" class contained in the .ino, or pass it into the constructor when it's created; so basically:

// assuming this is the .ino:

TFT_ILI9163C tft = TFT_ILI9163C(cs, dc, rst);


MenuClass *menu = MenuClass();
menu->init("Example", tft); // this should work and "menu" should now have access to the "tft" variable

Here's my Menu.cpp:

// Menu class

#include "Menu.h"
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <TFT_ILI9163C.h>

String menName = "Unnamed";

void MenuClass::init(const String name) 
{
    menName = name;
}

String MenuClass::getName() {
    return menName;
}

void MenuClass::draw() {
    tft.setCursor(2, 2);
    tft.print(menName);
}

MenuClass Menu;
