Error code E0065 & E0169 where there shouldnt be - c++

Question

I am going along making my csgo cheat via C++. Everything is going well, until I get to the menu, which throws what appears to be false error messages.
Ive tried doing what visual studios "quick fixes" are. It puts a Semi-colon at the end of "ImGuiWindowFlags_NoTitleBar" and changes the first error to a E0169 as well.
void Menu::Render()
{
ImGui::GetIO().MouseDrawCursor = _visible;
if (!_visible)
return;
const auto sidebar_size = get_sidebar_size();
static int active_sidebar_tab = 0;
//ImGui::PushStyle(_style);
ImGui::SetNextWindowPos(ImVec2{ 0, 0 }, ImGuiSetCond_Once);
ImGui::SetNextWindowSize(ImVec2{ 1000, 400 }, ImGuiSetCond_Once);
// https://github.com/spirthack/CSGOSimple/issues/63
// quick fix
if (ImGui::Begin("testbuild"))
& _visible,
ImGuiWindowFlags_NoCollapse | ImGuiWindowFlags_NoResize | ImGuiWindowFlags_NoTitleBar)) { <line 376
//auto& style = ImGui::GetStyle();
ImGui::PushStyleVar(ImGuiStyleVar_ItemSpacing, ImVec2(0, 0));
{
ImGui::BeginGroupBox("##sidebar", sidebar_size);
{
//ImGui::GetCurrentWindow()->Flags &= ~ImGuiWindowFlags_ShowBorders;
render_tabs(sidebar_tabs, active_sidebar_tab, get_sidebar_item_width(), get_sidebar_item_height(), false);
}
ImGui::EndGroupBox();
}
ImGui::PopStyleVar();
ImGui::SameLine();
// Make the body the same vertical size as the sidebar
// except for the width, which we will set to auto
auto size = ImVec2{ 0.0f, sidebar_size.y };
ImGui::BeginGroupBox("##body", size);
if (active_sidebar_tab == TAB_ESP) {
RenderEspTab();
}
else if (active_sidebar_tab == TAB_AIMBOT) {
RenderEmptyTab();
}
else if (active_sidebar_tab == TAB_MISC) {
RenderMiscTab();
}
else if (active_sidebar_tab == TAB_CONFIG) {
RenderConfigTab();
}
ImGui::EndGroupBox();
ImGui::TextColored(ImVec4{ 0.0f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 1.0f }, "FPS: %03d", get_fps());
ImGui::SameLine(ImGui::GetWindowWidth() - 150 - ImGui::GetStyle().WindowPadding.x);
if (ImGui::Button("Unload", ImVec2{ 150, 25 })) {
g_Unload = true;
}
ImGui::End();
}
} <line 418
I expected everything to go away, but it didnt. Error messages:
Error (active) E0065 expected a ';' CSGOSimple 376
Error (active) E0169 expected a declaration CSGOSimple 418

The problem is this line right here:
if (ImGui::Begin("testbuild"))
The last parenthesis at the end closes the if statement. That means it expects the next thing to be some statement. An example of something it would expect:
if(ImGui::Begin("testbuild"))
return; // Notice we need a semicolon here because return is a statement
This is because if statements in C++ can have a statement or a block following it. Since you don't have a semicolon here (because you clearly don't mean for the if statement to end that early) it throws an error.
To fix this, you will need to remove that parenthesis and fix your if statement. It's not completely apparent to me what you actually intend to do here, so you will have to figure that out yourself. But at least you now have an idea of what's happening here.
