I think it has nothing to do with templates. I thnk in the CPP file you need to put TTEST::TS *, because the struct is defined inside the class.

I think u should modify the code as following:

<br />
1:  // a.h<br />
2:  struct TS<br />
3:  {<br />
4:    int i ;<br />
5:  } ;<br />
6:  template < class T ><br />
7:  class TTEST<br />
8:  {<br />
9:  public:<br />
10:   TS t;<br />
11: public:<br />
12:   TS* test1() ;<br />
13:  } ;<br />
14: // a.cpp<br />
15: #include "a.h"<br />
16: template < class T ><br />
17: TS* TTEST < T >::test1()<br />
18: {<br />
19:   return NULL;<br />
20: }<br />

thanks for focusing ! I agree with you that it will work in your way, but to put TS's definition inside class TTEST will be more preferable.

Remeber you cannot implement a templated class's member functions in a separate .cpp file. You have to put the implementation in the .h file along with the class definition. Try moving all your original TTEST code into the .h file and see if it compiles them.
This is a limitation of C++ compilers which I can't at the moment remember the excuse for. You may need to ask Mr Stroustrup Smile | :)

Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

haha, thx for focusing, Matthew ! I am afraid Mr Stroustrup will be too busy to reply me. I know the way to separate a template into .h & cpp files. You could search it inside codeproject(I couldn't remember the exact link).

Hi all, after my searching around the web, I have found solution of my problem. Correct codes are shown bellow:

<br />
1:  // a.h<br />
2:  template < class T ><br />
3:  class TTEST<br />
4:  {<br />
5:  public:<br />
6:    struct TS<br />
7:    {<br />
8:      int i ;<br />
9:    } ;<br />
10: public:<br />
11:   TS* test1() ;<br />
12:  } ;<br />
13: // a.cpp<br />
14: #include "a.h"<br />
15: template < class T ><br />
16: typename TTEST < T >::TS* TTEST < T >::test1()<br />
17: {<br />
18:   return NULL;<br />
19: }<br />

pls notice line 16, a function "typename"(it is considered as a function in MSDN) was added between the "template < >" and the function return type, since the compiler can only recognise TTEST < T >::TS as a data type in this way. On the other hand, I could use class TTEST in my caller function just by simply include the a.cpp file instead of a.h in my own source file.

Hi
#include<memory.h>
#include<iostream.h>
class CStack
{
public:
void push()
{
cout<<"push";
}
};

int main()
{
auto_ptr<CStack> pt( new CStack );
return 0;
}

For this code I'm getting error

: error C2065: 'auto_ptr' : undeclared identifier

what header file should i include for auto_ptr.

RegisterHotKey Ctrl+Alt+F1

I want to use the hotkey combination of CTRL+ALT+F1, ...F2, ...F3 but although in my application I register these hotkeys thus:

... ::OnInitDialog()
...
RegisterHotKey( GetSafeHwnd(), ID_HELP_CONTENTS, MOD_CONTROL | MOD_ALT, VK_F1 );
...

I deregister the hotkeys in the destructor as well.

and I am capturing the message WM_HOTKEY these hotkeys do not work! I have registered other hotkeys just fine, and even if I change the above to capture say CTRL+ALT+B that works fine. Do I need to capture the key combination CTRL+ALT+F1 in a different way?

What does GetLastError say? Or use @err,hr in the debugger and debug through to find out what happens when you call RegisterHotKey.

On my machine on pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1 it pops up windows help dialog.

I GetLastError() returns 1409 which equates to "Hot key is already registered".

Is it possible to hook into an existing hotkey combination, without having to go down to the WinMain?

This[^] should help. Second question is yours.

Let me tell you that it's quite annoying to override an existing hotkey, imagine somebody doing the to your hotkey, be polite and choose another one. Smile | :)

Re: Unicode prob?

Never use char and wchar with CString class. Always use TCHAR based types.

For eg: LPCTSTR, LPTSTR, TCHAR. and of course TCHAR based functions like _tcscpy, _tcscmp, _tcscmpi, _tcsstr.

You will always encounter such problems if you switch between UNICODE and non UNICODE builds.

TCHAR makes switching easy. So always use TCHAR based types with CString.

if _UNICODE is defined then TCHAR expands to wchar_t else it expands to char.

Well ill now change it to TCHAR. I guess this should solve the problem. If not then ill ask up again...
cheers

Lil More problem....?

Hi
well as you all said to use TCHAR. i tried it just now...and got some prob as shown below

<br />
TCHAR strFilter[1000];<br />
_tcscpy_s(strFilter, "All Files (*.*)|*.*||");<br />

And error i got is none of the 2 overloads could convert all the arguments type.

So to overcome this problem i did as shown below...

<br />
TCHAR strFilter[1000];<br />
const TCHAR *strSource = L"All Files (*.*)|*.*||";<br />
_tcscpy_s(strFilter, strSource);<br />

This solved the error but i guess L is UniCODE...What could i use in place of that.
I guess L is used to helt converting from const char to TCHAR*...pls correct me if i am wrong.
Can i use it in this ...? If not then what could be the solution of the above error..

Yeah, I forgot to mention the main stuff...

When declaring strings for use with CString, wrap them in _T( "" )

Here it will be
const TCHAR* strSource = _T( "All files(*.*)|*.*||" );

ok kewl...
...got it working now...
So now i should always use TCHAR in place of char and for this i just have to include TCHAR.h and no need to define anything. It would work with UNICODE as well as non-UNICODE.
gr8....thanks a lot

Why? The CString class provides all you need.

Yes, since it is Unicode.

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but if you're going to go through all your code
and change it to work on Unicode, then I recommend in addition to changing all the char to TCHAR
also change all the CRT string calls to generics as well: strcpy = _tcscpy, strlen = _tcslen,
etc. instead of changing them to the wide character version.

That way all the code will be generic and you'll be able to reuse any code easier in any project
regardless of the character set settings.

It doesn't take that long to convert - I did a huge set of projects in a couple hours Smile | :)
