error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function

Hi...everyone...i got this error when i build my project....(error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function) and it points to this part of my code:

sMsg = "Delete " + Str(selected) + " selected item(s)?";

Thanks.

It is probably the ... Str(selected) ... term.

Is Str() a function ? some type of string variable ?

Str() is a function that converts a numeric type to a string, but in Visual Basic, not C++. If you want to put different types together into a std::string in C++, one easy way is to use a stringstream, like so:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int selected = 4;
    ostringstream MessageStream;
    string Message;

    MessageStream << "Delete " << selected << " selected item(s)?";
    Message = MessageStream.str();
   
    cout << Message << endl;    // OUTPUT: Delete 4 selected item(s)?

    return 0;
}
