classes in visualstudio

[john wiley]

Hi,
I`m using msvcc6 and start writing a program that relates to dx-audio. Msdn says to make use of error codes such as display windows for translating the error codes into error messages so I setup a (class) cError method w public members:

file:cpterr.cpp
[code]
[size=-2][center]
====================================================================

#include"cpterr.h";
#include <windows.h>;
void crep::mb(CHAR* msg, CHAR* ttl){
PSTR temp;
	MessageBoxA(0, msg, ttl, MB_OK);
	if (lstrcmpi(ttl, __TEXT("exit")))
	MessageBoxA(0, "please shut down", ttl, MB_OK);
}

DWORD crep::getrr(DWORD ol,LPSTR nume2){
	CHAR ctemp[127]="\0";
	if (ol!=0l) {
		mciGetErrorString(ol, ctemp,sizeof(ctemp));
		wsprintfA(ctemp,"return err#:&#37;d;\napi mesage:%s;\ninterpret %s",ol,ctemp,nume2);
	MessageBoxA(0, ctemp, "line12-getrr", MB_ICONQUESTION);
	};
	return (ol);
}

void *crep::operator new( size_t stAllocateBlock, char chInit ){
    void *pvTemp = malloc( stAllocateBlock );
    if( pvTemp != 0 )
        memset( pvTemp, chInit, stAllocateBlock );
    return pvTemp;
}[\code]

====================================================================

,prototypes in:"cpterr.hhh"
[size=-2][center]====================================================================

//#include"cpterr.cpp"
typedef public class creptag{
public:
	void *operator new( size_t stAllocateBlock, char chInit );
	crep(void);
	~crep();
	DWORD getrr(DWORD ol,LPSTR nume2);//explicitare erori mci?////prototip elem. nou adaugat
	void mb(CHAR* msg, CHAR* ttl);	//message box

private:
	int classe;
} CREP;

By now I have acces build use a cerro variable in another file:
[size=-10][center]
=================================================================

"ext3.cpp"
// Global Variables:
//fw declaration of procss:
//ATOM
//...
//file accessing whit err
BOOL StartWrite(TCHAR* /*pszFileName*/);//write chunk
BOOL StopWrite(void);				//!!
HRESULT WaveOpenFile(LPSTR /*strFileName*/, HMMIO /*phmmioOut*/,//!=0!
				 WAVEFORMATEX* /*pwfxDest*/,
				 MMCKINFO* /*pckOut*/,
				 MMCKINFO* /*pckOutRIFF*/);	
BOOL WaveStartDataWrite(HMMIO /*phmmioOut*/,
			MMCKINFO* /*pckOut*/,//initializes one datachunkfor fileflush
			MMIOINFO /*pmmioinfoOut*/ );
HRESULT WaveWriteFile( HMMIO hmmioOut, UINT cbWrite, BYTE* pbSrc,
                       MMCKINFO* pckOut, UINT* cbActualWrite, 
                       MMIOINFO* pmmioinfoOut );
HRESULT WaveCloseWriteFile( HMMIO* hmmioOut,  MMCKINFO* pckOut, MMCKINFO *pckOutRIFF,   
                            MMIOINFO *pmmioinfoOut, 
                            DWORD dwSamples );
BOOL StreamToFile(void);	//copiaza bloc din buffer2 in fisier

[size=-2]//#globale-vars
CREP cerro;		//typedef for error variable

//scope of main
main(void){
//....
cerro.mb("mesage for autostart record","title");
//....
}
=================================================================

[size=-2][center]

"main.cpp"
#include "cpterr.h"			//define errorclass
#include "ext3.h"				//defs  around-scop1
#include "ext4.h"				//defs  another scope
;/eof

But after it reports any kind of error and can`t instanciate cerro, starting w/

[i]*<right side of .'mb' must be struct/class/union>
*<'CREP ': missing storage class>...
*<main.cpp(5)><unespected eof>[\i]


Whole program use only 'the error reporting' class and spans over 3 files so far and class CREP is w/ no function container other than it shows. How to declare a CREP class for cerro-variable and make use its member *.mb like across var funct. Is a declaration
CREP cerro; legal? How to use 'cerro globally?'
