    Re: Can't intialize C++ Struct with CString in it??

    I'm not sure where the error message is coming form, but there are
    a couple of errors in your posted code.

    Code:
    struct print form [] =
    {
       { 30, 40, 1,data("test"), "N/A" },          // what is data ?
       { 30, 42, 1,temp("TEST") , "N/A" },         // temp is already constructed
       { 30, 44, 1,CString("data"), "N/A" },
       { 30, 50, 1,temp, "N/A" },
       { 30, 50, 1,CSZ, "N/A" },
    };

    What does your compilier tell you?
    My compiler told me your first two worked, but the second two it couldn't convert a CString* to a CString. When I removed the &, it compiled cleanly. You may want to dump the attitude. Sheesh. This compiled cleanly.

    Code:
    #include "stdafx.h"
    
    #ifdef _DEBUG
    #define new DEBUG_NEW
    #endif
    
    struct print
        {
        int  x; //row
        int  y; //col
        int  fid;
        CString data;
        char *format;
        };
    
    
    // The one and only application object
    
    CWinApp theApp;
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[])
    {
    	int nRetCode = 0;
    
     CString temp("Address");
    
     print form [] =
    {
    { 30, 40, 1,CString("Name"), "N/A" },
    { 30, 42, 1, temp , "N/A" },
    { 30, 44, 1, temp, "N/A" },
    { 30, 50, 1, temp, "N/A" },
    
    };
    
    	// initialize MFC and print and error on failure
    	if (!AfxWinInit(::GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, ::GetCommandLine(), 0))
    	{
    		// TODO: change error code to suit your needs
    		_tprintf(_T("Fatal Error: MFC initialization failed\n"));
    		nRetCode = 1;
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		// TODO: code your application's behavior here.
    	}
    
    	return nRetCode;
    }

    Re: Can't intialize C++ Struct with CString in it??

    Philip,


    data is

    CString data;

    and

    temp was already defined yes but I'm trying to initialize it to a string "TEST".

    thanks

    Sure it didn't. Why does your structure has two members named data? Why you initialization list entries differ in passed types?

    Tried the following and it worked just fine.

    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <atlstr.h>
    
    #define COUNTOF(x)  (sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]))
    
    struct print
    {
    int x; //row
    int y; //col
    int fid;
    CString sData;
    
    char *chData;
    };
    
    CString temp("Address");
    
    struct print form [] =
    {
    	{ 30, 40, 1,CString("Name"), "N/A" },
    	{ 30, 42, 1, temp , "N/A" },
    	{ 30, 44, 1, temp, "N/A" },
    	{ 30, 50, 1, temp, "N/A" },
    
    };
    
    
    int main() 
    {
    	for (int idx = 0; idx < COUNTOF(form); idx++)
    	{
    		printf(TEXT("[%d] x:%d y:%d sData:%s chData:%s\n"), 
    			idx, form[idx].x, form[idx].y, form[idx].sData, form[idx].chData);
    	}
    	return 0;
    }

    Re: Can't intialize C++ Struct with CString in it??

    GCDEF,

    In my case I defined the struct "print form[]" globally in a FORMVIEW app, in you case you defined it local to "_tmain".

    I tried sticking your example inside a my FormView::OnPrint function, still wouldn't compile. Getting

    error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const int' to 'struct print'
    No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous

    Do you understand what the lines really instruct compiler to do?
    Code:
    { 30, 40, 1,data("test"), "N/A" },
    { 30, 42, 1,temp("TEST") , "N/A" },
    This data("test") must be either explicit calling constructor data:ata(char*), or calling function int data(char*) defined somewhere in the scope. The same thing happens to temp("TEST"). This is definitely not what you intended to do.

    Re: Can't intialize C++ Struct with CString in it??

    I wrote this function which worked in my Formview App(had to do it another way):


    struct print
    {
    int x; //row
    int y; //col
    int fid;
    CString data;

    char *format;
    };

    CString gSin = "gSin";
    CString CSZ("CityStZip");
    char str[120];
    CString temp = "Temp";



    struct print form [4];


    void set (int i, int x, int y, CString Data){

    form[i].x = x;
    form[i].y = y;
    form[i].data = Data;

    }


    void init_struct (void){
    set(0,30,40, CSZ);
    set(1,30,42, gSin);
    set(2,30,44, temp);
    set(3,30,46, CSZ);

    }

    thanks for that example,

    I copied the area where you defined the vars and struct, still won't compile. Maybe it's the compiler these guys are using?
    V6.0, lol.

    I will have to ask them if they want to upgrade.

    I'm going to try your program in a CONSOLE app see what happens. If you have a V6.0 compiler handy try your program in it, I'm curious now.

    btw I understand about the temp("data"), thing, I was just trying as many CString constructor variations.

    Again you do not provide enough information about what and how "still won't compile"! Why?

    Well, I can guess that the problem is in
    Code:
    #include <atlstr.h>
    Therre is no such a file in VC++6.0.
    In VC++6.0 you have to create a new project with MFC support and then copy/paste the code Igor created for you (and without any #includes!)

    Re: Can't intialize C++ Struct with CString in it??

    Igor and Victor:

    I copied Igor's code to V6.0 compiler in a Console "Hello world app" which doesn't supply mfc support for CString so I added "#include <afx.h>" to the stdafx.h file.

    When I compiled Igor's program I got the following message:


    error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const int' to 'struct print'
    No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous
    Here is code section of the program:


    #include "stdafx.h"

    #define COUNTOF(x) (sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]))

    struct print
    {
    int x; //row
    int y; //col
    int fid;
    CString sData;

    char *chData;
    };

    CString temp("Address");

    struct print form [] =
    {
    { 30, 40, 1,CString("Name"), "N/A" },
    { 30, 42, 1, temp , "N/A" },
    { 30, 44, 1, temp, "N/A" },
    { 30, 50, 1, temp, "N/A" },

    };


    int main()
    {
    for (int idx = 0; idx < COUNTOF(form); idx++)
    {
    printf(TEXT("[%d] x:%d y:%d sData:%s chData:%s\n"),
    idx, form[idx].x, form[idx].y, form[idx].sData, form[idx].chData);
    }
    return 0;
    }

    Re: Can't intialize C++ Struct with CString in it??

    Victor and Igor

    Also created a console app w\MFC support and copied the initialization section of Igor's program:



    #define COUNTOF(x) (sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]))

    struct print
    {
    int x; //row
    int y; //col
    int fid;
    CString sData;

    char *chData;
    };

    CString temp("Address");

    struct print form [] =
    {
    { 30, 40, 1,CString("Name"), "N/A" },
    { 30, 42, 1, temp , "N/A" },
    { 30, 44, 1, temp, "N/A" },
    { 30, 50, 1, temp, "N/A" },

    };


    got the following error messages for each line of the struct member intialization code:

    error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const int' to 'struct print'
    No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous

    Re: Can't intialize C++ Struct with CString in it??

    As I wrote you in the post#2 your struct needs a ctor.
    This code compiles in VC++6:
    Code:
    #include "stdafx.h"
    
    #define COUNTOF(x)  (sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]))
    
    struct print
    {
    int x; //row
    int y; //col
    int fid;
    CString sData;
    
    char *chData;
    print(int xx, int yy, int id, const CString& data, char *ch) : 
    x(xx), y(yy), fid(id), sData(data), chData(ch) {}
    };
    
    CString temp("Address");
    
    print form[] =
    {
    	print( 30, 40, 1,CString("Name"), "N/A" ),
    	print( 30, 42, 1, temp , "N/A" ),
    	print( 30, 44, 1, temp, "N/A" ),
    	print( 30, 50, 1, temp, "N/A" ),
    
    };
    
    
    int main() 
    {
    	for (int idx = 0; idx < COUNTOF(form); idx++)
    	{
    		printf(TEXT("[%d] x:%d y:%d sData:%s chData:%s\n"), 
    			idx, form[idx].x, form[idx].y, form[idx].sData, form[idx].chData);
    	}
    	return 0;
    }

    Re: Can't intialize C++ Struct with CString in it??

    Igor and Victor,

    It's starting to look like the compiler V6.0 , lol. Or maybe the constructor definitions of CString got updated.

    The compiler error message seems to imply that there might be "Ambigous intialization" when attempting to initialize a struct in the V6.0 definition. I couldn't see on when I looked at the constructor defs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.60).aspx maybe you guys can see it?

    Victor tried the ctor (copied your code directly) same compiler message ?:

    error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const int' to 'struct print'
    No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous

    ?? maybe you updated your V6.0 sdk, on this computer it's not updated?


    strange?
