You wrote, I will reformulate: I want my class to return a reference object to std :: string ... If you mean something else, be clearer. There are practically no psychics here, I have not met ...

char& yourClass::getStrPropCharR(int i){ return *(m_StrProp.begin() + i); }; ... or char* yourClass::getStrPropCharP(int i){ return (m_StrProp.begin() + i); }; ... /////// But working with the std :: string type this way is not very good ... there will be problems when modifying a string through its native methods and through modifying a separate character .... it is better to leave std :: string and use std :: vector <char>

try it: class yourClass{ ... public: std::string& getStrProp(); ... private: std::string m_StrProp; ... }; std::string& yourClass::getStrProp(){ return m_StrProp; };

Why you want to wrap a char inside your class? why can't you just return the char? You can design your class' constructor to take a char, and store it as value of a private member. That way you can instantiate your class using the char taken off a std::string. Maybe you need to elaborate further on the idea of this class.
