error C2664 : cannot convert parameter from WORD' to 'WORD' 2 from

[munteanu24d]

I am trying to transmit by reference a Struct type parameter, but i get the following error:

error C2664 : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'TextFrameworkEngine::WORD' to 'WORD'

My code is quite simple :

test.h

struct WORD {
string text;
}

test.cpp

bool findWord(WORD &findWord){

// if the word is found in the current text, fill the findWord fields
return true;
}

void findAll() {

WORD findworld;
findWord(findword);
}

I know it's a conversion type problem, but i do not manage to solve it. Do you have some suggestions?

Best wishes,
D.M.

Looks like there's another type named WORD out there somewhere. Try another name.

or use your own namespace to define the WORD in.

If you're using Windows, there is already a typedef called WORD, along with BYTE & DWORD.
