I have written a class named CMessage in order to hold text messages (titles & bodies). When I link this class to the main source code, but not define an object with it, I don't get any warning or error message. But when a define an object CMessage message; I get an error like this :

Quote:23 C:\Prog\SAVE\wxDevCPP\CWMS\Modules\wndNewMessage.h aggregate `CMessage message' has incomplete type and cannot be defined

What's wrong my code? I got stuck with this error. Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated. My platform is : WinXP Home wxDevCPP Source code of the class :

class CMessage

	private:
		int GetNumOfSpecialCharacters(char * szString);

	public:
		char * szEncodedTitle;
		char * szRawTitle;
		char * szEncodedBody;
		char * szRawBody;
		//int nNumUsers;
		char szDeadLine[20];
		char szCurrentDATETIME[20];

		~CMessage();

I've just added a constructor but it is still the same.
I don't think every class definition should contain a constructor, should it?

Looks to me like wndNewMessage.h doesn't #include the header that CMessage is defined in, or if it does, you have a circular dependancy. That error looks like you've just declared CMessage as:
class CMessage;
in wndNewMessage.h, and to derive a class you require the full declaration of the class to be visible.

Thank you Steve. The problem was just like you said. I had made the symbolic declaration of CMessage in a different file but didn't include its code to the project.

The problem is solved.
