Brainless Beginner trying to use CString
Author
I'm sure there is something really basic I'm missing, but here is my problem. I'm working in VisualC++ and trying to use the CString class, and keep getting the following error on my compile:
error C2065: 'CString' : undeclared identifier
My code snipet is:
#include "string.h"
#include "stdio.h"
CString s1 = "some text here";
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Chris

It looks like the CString object is not on String.h ... try put string.h in <>
just a guess...
just a guess...

I tried add "afx.h", and get the following error:
fatal error C1189: #error : WINDOWS.H already included. MFC apps must not #include "windows.h"
I believe I'm already using MFC, because I have some MFC functions working already (FindWindows, SetWindowsHookEx).
Could this problem be because I'm doing this in a DLL?

Only use CString in an MFC app
Use the std::string if you want reusable code
No .h
Or the _bstr_t in the "COMUtil.h" header for a b-string/unicode helper.

It works now. I just had to remove a windows.h in my own DLL header, and add the afx.h instead.
Thanks for the help.
