simple app with MFC

[fiff]

I'm using Visual C++ 6.0 ...
I create empty project (Win32 App) and new .cpp file:

#include <afxwin.h>

class AppX : public CWinApp
{
	public:
	BOOL InitInstance()
	{
		CFrameWnd *mainWinL = new CframeWnd;

		mainWinL->Create (NULL, "Main Window Title");
		mainWinL->ActivateFrame;

		return true;
	}
}

AppX MyApp;

This gives to errors?
error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'MyApp'
fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found

Thank you!

I think you have to put a semicolon after the end of the AppX class (after the }).

In C++ class decl. doesnt end with semicolon ;
It gives 102 errors

I'm not sure where those errors are coming from, but C++ classes definitely end with a ';'.

I'm quite sure you need a semicolon in C++. You don't need it in Java or C#, but your code looks like MFC so I'm ruling those out.

I don't have a compiler right now, but I fixed some things that looked like syntactic mistakes so give this a shot. If it doesn't work, post the errors.

#include <afxwin.h>

class AppX : public CWinApp
{
	public:
	BOOL InitInstance()
	{
		CFrameWnd *mainWinL = new CFrameWnd;

		mainWinL->Create (NULL, "Main Window Title");
		mainWinL->ActivateFrame();
		return TRUE ;
	}
};

AppX MyApp;

Thanks, your code works.
I did'nt call the method ActivateFrame() correctly, missing ()

MFC is quite fine for rapid app development. Its not the best performer if you are writing something that needs optimal performance and is a speed demon. Its close though, too many people write it off as something that is useless, when in fact it is not. I use it quite frequently still, and aids in creating quick and useful applications.

From my experience, 90% of people who trash MFC have never used it.

Ditto. I doubt I'd be too far off in estimating that the other 10% are lazy programmers who tried it for a day and decided it was just too hard or simply wanted to climb back on the ignorance bandwagon screaming about how the API is incomparably superior.

A little extra info, you might seriously use the code auto-generator to really get a feel for MFC, its quite a lot to tackle at once, especially in the beginning, but it certainly helped me get more familiar with MFC quickly and familiarized myself with some of the classes.

I got a similar error to the one you have described before. If I remember correctly, you need to uncheck the use precompiled headers from the project properties. I hope this helps.
