VC++ User Function

amen

Hi,

Using MS VC++ 6.0.

I have written a simple function say its called MyFunction.
Now I have a click event on a menu item
void CTueDlg::OnFind()
{
MessageBox("Hello");
MyFunction();

}


Now when I compile it blows up and says it doesn't recognise MyFunction.

does anyone have any ideas >

MyFunction is coded in the class file,

thanks for any help

amen

You'll have to make the function static, since dialog procedures are static.

so redefine it in the header as

static void myfunction();

and at the top of the CPP file , where the #includes and #defines are, put

void CTueDlg::myfunction();

It doesn't have to be of type void of course.

Let me know how you get on.

amen

I guess I am doing something wrong as I can't get it to work.

I have TueDlg.cpp
and at the top I have
// TueDlg.cpp : implementation file
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Tue.h"
#include "TueDlg.h"
#include <afx.h>

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif
void CTueDlg::MyFunction();

Then I have TueDlg.h
and in that I have at the bottom

static void MyFunction();
//{{AFX_INSERT_LOCATION}}
// Microsoft Visual C++ will insert additional declarations immediately before the previous line.

#endif // !defined(AFX_TUEDLG_H__140F015D_0ABE_11D6_A39A_00001C0945B0__INCLUDED_)

when I compile I get
TueDlg.cpp(14) : error C2039: 'MyFunction' : is not a member of 'CTueDlg'

any ideas ?

Jay

You must make the static function a member of the class.

TueDlg.h

#include ...
#include ...
#include ...

class CTueDlg
{
public:

private:
static void MyFunction();

}

TueDlg.cpp

#include "TueDlg.h"

void CTueDlg::MyFunction();


//constuctor..
.............

//destructor
.............

//Function definition
void CTueDlg::MyFunction()
{
.........
.........
.........
}

amen

Jay,

that worked a treat.

thanks very much for your help
