Declaring global class instances

[Hawkeye]

While making my program, I decided that I want to make a dialog class that would pop up when a button is clicked, and then retain all of the values entered until the program exits. Where and how would I go about declaring this class? Would I have to declare it in the main dialog header/cpp file? I have tried making an instance in several places, but I get errors. This is what I add:

CDlgRoot root; // class that I want to make



When I do this, I get 12 errors saying something along the lines of: "missing ';' before identifier 'root'" , "'CDlgRoot' : missing storage-class or type specifiers" , and "'root' : missing storage-class or type specifiers"
Thank you in advance.

try this

CDlgRoot* m_dlgRoot = NULL; //declare this globally inside your class

CDlgRoot::CDlgRoot()
{
m_dlgRoot = this; //do this inside your constructor
}


//now wherever you need to use this dialog, just use:
extern CDlgRoot* m_dlgRoot;
m_dlgRoot->YourFunction

It is not very clear what you have in your code. But just try #include "CDlgRoot.h" or whatever header file you have for this class and insert it at the file where you declare the

CDlgRoot root; //
