Return an Object By Value

Greetings Colleagues,

I have a quick question. How do you return an object by value?

The following code:

<br />
MyObject MyClass::operator+(const MyClass & mcRhs)<br />
{<br />
     //...do some processing<br />
     MyClass mcNewObject();<br />
     return mcNewObject;<br />
}<br />

results in the following error: c++ error C2664: No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous

It says it can't convert it. Ironically, when I leave the parentheses off of the instantiation of mcNewObject, it works!? Can someone please explain.

Thanks a million.

Sincerely,
BP

Can you post the definitions of the two classes?

Or... what line was the error on?

Thanks for replying,

This is the actual function

<br />
CNumber CNumber::operator+(const CNumber & cnThisNumber)<br />
{<br />
	if((m_bIsBlank) || (cnThisNumber.ReturnIsBlank()))<br />
	{<br />
		CNumber cnBlankNumber();<br />
		return cnBlankNumber;<br />
	}<br />
	else<br />
	{<br />
		float fReturnAmount;<br />
		cnThisNumber.GetAmount(fReturnAmount);<br />
		fReturnAmount = m_fAmount - fReturnAmount;<br />
		CNumber cnNewAmount(fReturnAmount);<br />
		return cnNewAmount;<br />
	}<br />
}<br />

This is the copy constructor I have defined...

<br />
CNumber::CNumber(const CNumber & cnThisNumber) : m_iMaxDecimals(10)<br />
{<br />
	// Set all changeable data to cnThisNumber<br />
	cnThisNumber.GetAmount(m_fAmount);<br />
	cnThisNumber.GetOriginalAmount(m_fOriginalAmount);<br />
	m_bFormatChange = cnThisNumber.ReturnFormatChange();<br />
	m_bIsZero = cnThisNumber.ReturnIsZero();<br />
	m_strStringAmount = cnThisNumber.ReturnStringAmount();<br />
	m_bIsBlank = cnThisNumber.ReturnIsBlank();<br />
}<br />

If I change "CNumber cnBlankNumber()" in the operator overload to "CNumber cnBlankNumber" it works. I just don't get it.

I don't get the () thing, but try doing return CNumber; or return CNumber();.

Also - do you have a default constructor defined?

Mike

29-Sep-06 18:04

I will try that, and yes I do have a default constructor defined.

Thanks,

Because C++ is not C# or Java. Look up how you define an object in C++ using the default ctor.

MyClass mcNewObject();

is a function declaration I think (Mike Dunn pointed that out to me via this forum when I did a similar thing a while back when trying to test constructor behavior a while back. Silly me Blush | :O

Hi all,
I have a problem with DateTimepicker Control in VC6.
If I choose the DTS_SHOWNONE style how can i get a notification if the user disable the DateTimeCtrl by unchecking the small checkbox that appears inside the control.

Please help me!
Thanks a lot.

if we select the control style (DTS_SHOWNONE)
It is possible to have no date currently selected in the control. With this style, the control displays a check box that users can check once they have entered or selected a date. Until this check box is checked, the application will not be able to retrieve the date from the control because, in essence, the control has no date. This state can be set with the DTM_SETSYSTEMTIME message or queried with the DTM_GETSYSTEMTIME message. Smile | :)

I have developed a simple dialog based GUI and was attempting to link some C-code to it in the CDialog class i.e. copying the C code into the file and updating the header files. However, when I started to compile it, the following errors were encountered. I have not done anything with the MFC header files and know that it cannot be due to the program. It might be the way I inserted the c code into the GUI application. Please advise. Thanks.

First I glad that your problem solve and I guess you are a student Smile | :)

(1)I think best help is MSDN(From the MSDN)
"If either /Yc or /Yu is specified with /YX, a warning is issued. In such cases, /YX is ignored, and /Yc or /Yu takes precedence".
For more information see
here[^]

(2)can you be more specific,I saw many errors with error LNK2001

You are right. I am a student but an old one. This is the first time linking C code with C++ code. Normally, I used only C++ and it is simply using the defined classes.

I have this GUI that was developed and this C-code that performs image processing. I have copied the main() code to the GUI and declared the global variables in the dialog class.

The image processing files are brought into the workspace and the GUI made dependent on these files. No problem on compiling. However, during the linking up, there are some extern variables in the image processing files that need referencing to. They are declared in the Dialog cpp file. That is the reason for the "unresolved external symbol _img" and the strings of other error message.

I have included the Dialog.h in the source file of the image processing file and they could not recognize the class terms i.e. more error occurred.

2nd question is the declaration of C- code in a C++ program. Can I use this method? The two functions are C functions.
afx_msg void decode(void);
afx_msg void Configure(void);

Thanks a lot for your time and advise. Greatly appreciated.

I can't use C++ coz the c code was developed by another person and I have to add in the GUI and perform improvement on the code. To recode that will take too long.

I have already spent hours on this problem and I am not getting anywhere. I think the answer is out there except that it is not made known.

GetCountPerPage and Icon view

hi,

I have a CListView and I want to check what items are currently visible in the view.

when the view is in report view mode I can use GetCountPerPage() along with GetTopIndex() to determine visible items. but when the control in large icon view GetCountPerPage returns the number of all elements in the list control - not the number of visible ones.

so how to solve this??
