    Is this not legal syntax?

    unsigned int m_iPageNames[] = {IDD_COLORS, IDD_KEYWORDS, IDD_OPERATORS};

    This is declared protected in my CDialog class...
    I mean, my god, I practically copied the example from MSDN and I get 6 errors for that line?

    color coderdlg.h(34) : error C2059: syntax error : '{'
    color coderdlg.h(34) : error C2334: unexpected token(s) preceding '{'; skipping apparent function body
    color coderdlg.h(34) : error C2059: syntax error : '{'
    color coderdlg.h(34) : error C2334: unexpected token(s) Color CoderDlg.cpp(121) : error C2065: 'm_iPageNames' : undeclared identifier
    Color CoderDlg.cpp(121) : error C2109: subscript requires array or pointer type

    Just a quick, and even stupid question, are IDD_COLORS and etc. defined before this array definition?

    OK, so are they variables or constants? If variables you might want to try dynamically allocating the array using new.

    Nope... they're constants :/
    I cannot understand this... it's so frustrating. If the compiler was a person, I'd punch it in the face and tell it i'm right... but since it's not, I have no way of doing this :/

    I actually had the same problem. But I was able to hunt down one of the programmers that made the C++ compiler and punch him in the face. But I still don't know how to fix it and now I have an assault lawsuit.

    Just curious, how and where are they defined(that is IDD_COLORS ect..); of course assuming you'll indulge me.

    no-one is prolly right. You have an error which messes up the rest of the code.
    Maybe an extra { somewhere.

    No, I'm pretty sure that's the way you're supposed to do it. Wait... try delcaring it as a constant. Maybe that will work?

    And if all else fails:

    unsigned int m_iPageNames[3] = {IDD_COLORS, IDD_KEYWORDS, IDD_OPERATORS};


    Also, did you comment out the "protected:" keyword to see if it still compiles?
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
#include <complex>
bool euler_flip(bool value)
{
    return std::pow
    (
        std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
        std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
        * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
        *(1 << (value + 2)))
    ).real() < 0;
}

    Alright, so are IDD_COLORS (ect) defined as static variables? If not your getting an error because you cannot initialize an array like that within the class definition, because the class is merely describing the data, until an object is initialized you don't actually have anywhere to put the data. So you could use static variables or if that doesn't work try moving the initialization to the constructor definition of your class. (Mind you this is just how I read it, I could be totally off the wall here).

    Edit:

    By the way you can also use an enumeration as opposed to declaring the variables static.

    Ahhh, I tried everything.. moving them to public, making them constant etc etc.

    Enumeration sounds like a good plan.
