Creating a CMyEdit class with CEdit

Hi,

I've created a CMyEdit class using CEdit as the base class, and I've defined my own OnSetFocus function. But Everytime I create an instance of CMyEdit it gives me an error

Code:

error C2065: 'CMyEdit' : undeclared identifier

I haven't done this before and really don't know whether I've done all I was supposed to do. Could I have some assistance, please.

You have included the header for MyEdit (MyEdit.h) in the file you want to declare the edit in?




may need a pragma once or conditional compilation

ie C style conditional compilation.....

//include the file only once
#ifndef MY_EDIT_CLASS //if not defined
#define MY_EDIT_CLASS //define it
#include "MyEdit.h"
#endif //close the condition

what novacain said, and if you are using Microsoft Visual C++ and you have more than one .cpp files it can be a bit messed up, not too long ago i had problems with it.

Just hit 'Rebuild All' or 'Clean'.

If still problems, delete the contents of your Debug folder and use rebuild all.

I have added the header file, but I can't properly overrider a base class function.

Here's the whole class definition:

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Initial GUI.h"
#include "MyEdit.h"

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// CMyEdit

CMyEdit::CMyEdit()
{
	void CMyEdit::OnSetfocus(CWnd* pOldWnd);  //CWnd* pOldWnd
}

CMyEdit::~CMyEdit()
{
}


BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyEdit, CEdit)
	//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMyEdit)
	ON_CONTROL_REFLECT(EN_SETFOCUS, OnSetfocus)
	//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// CMyEdit message handlers

void CMyEdit::OnSetfocus(CWnd* pOldWnd) //CWnd* pOldWnd
{
	CString lstr, estr, str;
 
	this->selectedEditControl = 1;

	CListBox* pGetList = (CListBox*)this->GetParent()->GetDlgItem(IDC_LIST1);

	pGetList->GetText((pGetList->GetCurSel()), lstr);
		 
	this->SetWindowText(lstr);
	
}

I get this error

Code:

error C2244: 'CMyEdit::OnSetfocus' : unable to resolve function overload
h:\gui\gui v1\myedit.cpp(37) : error C2511: 'OnSetfocus' : overloaded member function 'void (class CWnd *)' not found in 'CMyEdit'

try....

in prototype (header)

afx_msg void OnSetfocus();

or

afx_msg void OnSetfocus(CWnd *pOldWnd);
