Can I use the DECLARE_DYNAMIC macro for a CList derived class?

[Charles Liu]

I got a class derived from CList, as class CPointList : public CList { ... } I want to declare it DYNAMIC, but as i wrote this in .cpp IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CPointList,CList The compiler gave an error: warning C4002: too many actual parameters for macro 'IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC' How can I declare it to be dynamic?

Doing this means that you can tell what class the CPointList is, but it will appear to be a direct descendent of CObject, ie. RUNTIME_CLASS(CPointList)->GetBaseClass() will return RUNTIME_CLASS(CObject). BTW, the reason the compiler tells you it has too many parameters is because the preprocessor doesn't care about C syntax - it just splits the macro at the commas. It does not care (and does not know) that the second comma is inside a template definition, and assumes it to be separating parameters. The only comma is treats differently is one that's inside a string. Ryan Being little and getting pushed around by big guys all my life I guess I compensate by pushing electrons and holes around.
