CMap problem

[Worried]

I am using a CMap CMap my_map; my_map.SetAt("abc",1); my_map.SetAt("xyz",22); ... I need this map to be globaly accessible in my application, therefore I am initialising this in a common header file of my application. But when i compile the coe I get following errors: : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '.' : error C2501: 'my_map' : missing storage-class or type specifiers : error C2371: 'my_map' : redefinition; different basic types : see declaration of 'my_map' Any pointers?

CMap is declared in afxtempl.h, you need to include that file.

In this case, use extern. In common header,

extern CMap my_map;

And in one on cpp file define it. i.e.

CMap my_map;

Even then the error does not go. Actually there is no seperate .cpp file here. This header file contains all the constants etc required in my app. I just want to associate some key-value pairs so that they can be searched some time later in the applicataion.

In the same header file.
