Thread: So I wrote a class.

How about a nested class or an unnamed namespace?

Code:

namespace {
    namespace helper {
        class Cshort;
    }
}

IPrintOemUIMXDC is an interface exported by a Unidrv UI plugin which provides three methods that MXDC uses to determine how to perform certain actions when converting a GDI print job to an XPS document. In this case I need to control the image compression (i.e. disable it).

So the name didn't arise as capriciously as it might seem at first. It still sucks though.

could have put that in the op and saved us the time of humoring you
