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

[ADSOFT]

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.

#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;
}

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.
