    Is this code visible to your project ? Is it part of your project ? Have you ever tried std::vector ? Unlike CArray, it's powerful, flexible and does not suck. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002

    Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

    yes, I have added both the .h and .cpp to my project. Also, I have include the header file when I declare the member variable. I did a few Build->Clean and Rebuild All, in the hope of getting rid of this problem. But without any success. X| I didn't know anything about std::vector, I would try to read something about it. Before that, what is the correct way of deriving any class from CArray? I think I am not following the correct syntax. :(

      If you search for 'vector graus' in the articles you should find my article on vectors. I don't know how you would derive from CArray. I'd probably try to contain a CArray instead and see if that worked, assuming I had to.

        I have a member variable declared as: CArray m_dotArray; When I am using it, I use CArray::Add to add new dots to it. But I don't want to add duplicate dot, so I derived CMyArray in the following manner:

        template <class TYPE, class ARG_TYPE>
        class CMyArray : public CArray < TYPE, ARG_TYPE >
        {
        public:
        int AddThis(ARG_TYPE newElement);
        };

        template < class TYPE, class ARG_TYPE >
        int CMyArray < TYPE, ARG_TYPE > ::AddThis(ARG_TYPE newElement)
        {
        ARG_TYPE existingElement;
        for ( int i = 0; i < GetSize(); i ++ )
        {
        existingElement = GetAt(i);
        if ( existiingElement == newElement )
        return -1;
        }
        Add(newElement);
        return 0;
        }

        but when compiling the following error is reported: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: int __thiscall CMyArray < class CPoint, class CPoint > ::AddThis(class CPoint)" ...... What did I miss? :confused: TIA!!

          Is the function implementation in the header file (or a #included inline file)? If it is in a .cpp file, then the compiler won't find it when instantiating the template, and so the function will be missing at link-time. Dave

            ah Yes. I implemented it in cpp file. After I delete the cpp and move the function definition to the .h file, everything is okay. Thank you so much! :laugh::laugh: I am so happy.

                  CAtlArray, hmm, I should keep it in mind for future use, since I don't need the serialization function here at all. Thank you. :)

                    lol - you just don't give up, do you ? I've never used CAtlArray, is it part of WTL ? How complete is it ? That is, does it offer algorithms etc, or is it merely another container of the sort I could write in an afternoon ?

                      Like you, I have noticed that there are a lot of posters that preach certain methods for doing specfic tasks. While, I think it is OK to provide alternative appoaches to solve a problem...I also think that you should try to answer the question, as posed.

                              Yes, that was a major reason I wrote my article on std::vector, to point out all the things that it does that CArray will not. CArray is a perfectly good array class ( they are not hard to write ). But how do you copy the contents of a CArray into a CList or CMap ? STL containers provide a common iterator interface. How do you sort a CArray, or shuffle it, or any other common algorithm ? The stl comes with all sorts of algorithms, and the facility to easily write more.
