FYI: class CMOTOCOM32 is declared into the motoDlg.h file.

Please give your comments and suggestions.

Thank you

1. Please, edit your post to add Code tags around code snippet. Otherwise it is hard to read/understand the code.
2. Where is the line 224?
3. I don't see any sense to declare this variable as global:

I thnk without creating an object for the CMOTOCOM32 class you cannot call the function ConnectToXRC("149.201.4.66"); like that.If the function is a static function then u can use scope resolution operator and use without creating an object.So create an object for the class and then using the object call the function.......

Code:

---

// Function of CMOTOCOM32 class
CMOTOCOM32.ConnectToXRC("149.201.4.66");

---

Is CMOTOCOM32 a class or an object? If the later, how is it declared? If the former, then you need an object of that type to call the functions. Unless that function is static, in which case you need to call it like this:

Code:

---

CMOTOCOM32::ConnectToXRC("149.201.4.66");
