Check Variable is CString or Integer (RTTI in MFC/ATL)

[QuickDeveloper]

hi i want to check whether variable in given generic array(like CArray) is CString or integer etc.I tried using IsKindOf but it doesn't work for CString.so is there any method for Runtime type Identification??

:confused: Correct me if I'm wrong but your array is a template array. So you have to declare something like this: CArray<CString> myArray; So, you know exactly what you declared, isn't it ?

Use the (standardized) RTTI-feature of C++! The only reason that IsKindOf exists is that MFC predates the C++-Standard. Something like CString* pCStr = dynamic_cast(vec[i]); if( !pCStr) { ...must be something different... }

Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.
