In your header file say foo.h

class Foo{
    public:
        static void someFunction(params..);

}

In your implementation file say foo.cpp

#include "foo.h"

void Foo::someFunction(params..){

}

Just make sure you don't use the static keyword in your method signature when you are implementing the static function in your implementation file.

Good Luck
