Thread: A little problem with a class

Hello ~

I'm writing a GUI program which reads and edits ID3 tag data from MP3s. However, I am having a little problem extracting some of the data. I am sure that this is something simple that I have overlooked (it always is :P)...

Code:

//Initiate ID3 reading functionality
        class ID3struct
        {
        public:
            char TID[3];
            char title[30];
            char artist[30];
            char album[30];
            char year[4];
            char comment[30];
            BYTE genre;

        }
        ID3Data;
        {
            HANDLE hFile;
            DWORD read;
            char ID3[128];
            hFile = CreateFile("bond.mp3",  // file to read
                               GENERIC_READ,   // open for reading
                               0, // do not share
                               NULL,// default security
                               OPEN_EXISTING,  // open file if exists
                               FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, // normal file
                               NULL);     // no attr. template

            SetFilePointer(hFile, -128, NULL, FILE_END);
            ReadFile(hFile, ID3, 128, &read, NULL);
            CloseHandle(hFile);
            memcpy(&ID3Data, ID3, 128);
            MessageBox(GetActiveWindow(),ID3.title, "Elixir ID3 Editor", MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);

        }

This is the problematic extract from my WM_CREATE event. The error I am getting is :

error: request for member 'title' in 'ID3' , which is of non-class type 'char [128]'

I haven't a clue as to what is going on. I am using the compiler that comes with Dev-C++ (so essentially Dev-C++). If anyone could help, I would be extremely gratefull.

Thanks;

>> ID3.title
Did you mean ID3Data.title?
