You should create a variable of the type SelectionneNonSelectionne.

struct SelectionneNonSelectionne var;

After that pass that variable to the function like

characterSelection(screen, var);

The error is caused since you are passing the type name SelectionneNonSelectionne

You re passing a type as an argument  not an object  You need to do characterSelection screen  test   where test is of type SelectionneNonSelectionne

A function call needs to be performed with objects  You are doing the equivalent of this      function declaration definition void foo int         function call foo int      wat      i e  passing a type where an object is required  This makes no sense in C or C    You need to be doing  int i   42  foo i     or  foo 42
