VC++6.0 Add member function Wizard

1) I can never get the Add MemberFunction Wizard to add an operator= function correctly to a class. In File view, I right click on the class name and select Add Member Function, and then fill in the function type and function declaration, but the Wizard only adds the skeleton definition to the .cpp file--it won't add the declaration to the .h file too, like it does with any other function I add. Why can't I get that to work?

2) Does anybody use the Wizards, or is it easier to just ignore them?

The only wizards I use are for MFC and message maps - I've always done the raw C++ stuff myself.

I use them for class member functions, and only occasionaly...its not that hard to type void name (void) twice, and then throw some brackets in....

Jamsan,

Can you try creating a simple class and then try to add an operator= function to it? This is what I tried:

I clicked on the Insert menu item, and then New Class. Then I typed in a new class name, say Cat, and that created the .cpp and .h files. Then, I right clicked on the class name in File View, and then I entered:

Function type:

Cat&

Function declaration:

operator=(Cat& a_Cat);

(public check box checked)

Then I clicked on OK. The skeleton class definition gets added to the .cpp file, but nothing gets added to the .h file. Is that what happens to you too?

hmm nope, sure doesnt. (add it to the .h)

Jamsan,

I'm not clear what you're saying:

1) Did your compiler add the declaration of the operator= function to the .h file?

or

2) nope, it sure doesn't add the function to the .h file when you try?
