Constructors - throw an exception if failed

[tom76]

Hi all, I want my constructors (default, overloaded, and copy) to throw an exception if they fail. My questions are 1) How can I test to see if the constructor has failed? 2) Should I create an exception class to throw exception objects rather than using text strings/integer codes? 3) Where does the catch block go? In the constructor body, or after creating an object in the .cpp file? Thanks, Daniel Obseve everything, remember more...

That's very handy, thank you. I'm going to play with one of the examples to see how I go. Annoyingly the bits I need are not written in, it's just //... Grrr! Daniel:confused: Obseve everything, remember more...
