Error when trying to setFramerate in C++ SFML codeblocks

Hi I am trying to set up a program where a ball will bounce across the renderwindow. I am using SFML c++, iostream, codeblocks(if that makes a difference). I know that I am not anywhere near completion and I may very well be going in the wrong direction. However, one thing I do know for certain is that in order for my program to work I will need to implement sf::Window::setFramerateLimit(60);Or at least that is what I have in my code.

include<iostream>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace sf;

int main(){
RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(1500,800), "Bouncing Circle");
sf::Window::setFramerateLimit(60);

When ever I try to build/run my program I get an error:

error: cannot call member function 'void sf::Window::setFramerateLimit(unsigned int)' without object|

#include<iostream>
#include<SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace sf;

int main(){
RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(1500,800), "Bouncing Circle");
sf::Window::setFramerateLimit(60);
srand(time(NULL));
int Rand1 = rand()%1500+1;
int Rand2 = rand()%800+1;
int x;
int y;
int BREAK = 1;
sf::CircleShape MyCircle(50);
MyCircle.setPosition(1,1);
MyCircle.setFillColor(sf::Color(500,0,0));

  while (window.isOpen())
 {

    sf::Event event;
    while (window.pollEvent(event));
    {
        if(event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            window.close();

    }
    x = 1;
    y = 1;
    for(int ii = 0; ii < 675; ii++){

    x++;
    y++;
    MyCircle.setPosition(x, y);
    window.draw(MyCircle);
    window.display();
    window.clear();
    BREAK++;
    if(BREAK == 675){
        break;
    }
    }

}
return 0;
}

sf::Window::setFramerateLimit(unsigned int); is not a static member function. So you will to have an instance to call it. In a nutshell :

int main()
{
  sf::RenderWindow win(sf::VideoMode(500, 500), "Title");

  win.setFramerateLimit(60);
  return 0;
}

SFML Documentation warn us about using this function and vsync !

Where you have sf::Window::setFramerateLimit(60); try instead window.setFramerateLimit(60); this sets the framerate for your created window (named "window") to 60 frames per second.
