Window Class :: richedit implementation error!

[tareqsiraj]

Hi ppl, I am new to ATL and trying to add a simple richedit control in a window. But i get "syntax error: missing ';' ..." everytime. Following is my source code. CMainWindow.h

#ifndef CMainWindow_h
#define CMainWindow_h

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "CNoteEdit.h"

class CMainWindow : public CWindowImpl < CMainWindow >
{
	public:
	DECLARE_WND_CLASS_EX(TEXT("NoteMainWindowClass"), CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW | CS_DBLCLKS, COLOR_BTNFACE)

private:
	BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CMainWindow)
		MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_CREATE, OnCreate)
		MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_CLOSE, OnClose)
		MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_DESTROY, OnDestroy)
	END_MSG_MAP()

	LRESULT OnCreate(UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL& bHandled);
	LRESULT OnClose(UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL& bHandled);
	LRESULT OnDestroy(UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL& bHandled);
};

#endif

CNoteEdit.h

#ifndef CNoteEdit_h
#define CNoteEdit_h

#include "stdafx.h"

class CNoteEdit : public CWindowImpl < CNoteEdit >
{
public:
	DECLARE_WND_SUPERCLASS(NULL, RICHEDIT_CLASS)

	BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CNoteEdit)
	END_MSG_MAP()

	CNoteEdit();
	virtual ~CNoteEdit();
};

#endif

main.cpp

#include "stdafx.h"

CComModule _Module;

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
{
	_Module.Init(0, hInstance);

	CMainWindow _MainWindow;

	_MainWindow.Create(0, CWindow::rcDefault, "Note - ", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW);

	_MainWindow.ShowWindow(nShowCmd);
	_MainWindow.UpdateWindow();

	MSG msg;
	while (::GetMessage(&msg,0,0,0) > 0)
	{
		TranslateMessage(&msg);
		DispatchMessage(&msg);
	}

	_Module.Term();
	return msg.wParam;
}

In the CMainWindow.cpp, its just code for closing the window and in CNoteEdit.cpp, it has an empty constructor and destructor. Now, if i just remove the CNoteEdit _noteEdit; line from CMainWindow.h then everything is ok (but no richedit :((). I know i have to create the CNoteEdit object inside my main window, but i have to get pass the error first ... i think. Plz help me find out the error! Thankx in advance. -Tareq

You don't #include stdafx.h in a header file. That should be the first #include in every CPP file, that's it. --Mike-- "I'm working really, really fast at the moment, so a 3 minute outage becomes, due to time dilation, a 5 minute outage." -- Chris Maunder, relativistic system administrator Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber
