a nice clear set of instructions

however when i try just adding the #import lines to a C++ console project i get the compiler error:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open type library file: 'mso9.dll': No such file or directory

having done a full find i do not have this file on the test machine. which version of MS Office do i need installed to import these files? and does this rely on the MS Office development features in VS2005? from memory this requires that the correct version of Office is installed before you install the IDE

Sorry about not being clear about this. I meant to simply #import the MS Office Type Libraries into my project.

assuming i know absolutely nothing about "Office CoClasses" can you tell me how to go about setting up a test case?

 #pragma warning(push, 1)
 #import <mso9.dll> rename("DocumentProperties",  "DocumentPropertiesXL")   
 #import <vbe6ext.olb> 
 #import <msword9.olb> rename("ExitWindows", "WordExitWindows")
 #pragma  warning(pop)

I experience the very same issue with Smart Pointers generated for Office CoClasses.

#include "stdafx.h"

#import "E:\\common_share\\library code\\vsflexgrid\\vsflex7l.ocx" no_namespace

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    IVSFlexGridPtr spGrid;
//  spGrid->

    return 0;
}

#import "c:\\source\\vsflex7l.ocx" no_namespace

IVSFlexGridPtr spGrid;

spGrid.

i have downloaded and extracted your zip file, but i cannot find any reference to the string "FlexGridPtr" in any of the files.

i had a look for the evaluation copy, and having downloaded the files "vsflex7_7.0.1.190.zip", "vsflex7_203.zip" which looked like good ones to try i have the file types ".txt ; .ocx ; .ver ; .dll", and that is it. this seems to be the dll to link against, but no class definitions to use.

am i missing something obvious here?

My previous example was written somewhat hastily. Here's a better one:

Is this clearer?

I am using VSFlex7 (and C++/MFC...) I have zipped together the different VSFlex files and put them at http://www.trixsystems.se/vax/VSFlex7.zip

An evaluation version can be downloaded from http://prerelease.componentone.com/ActiveX/C1FlexGrid/C1FlexGrid%207.0/

nikb i am a little out of practice at writing template classes, but i regularly use them in my C++ code. your example class does not make much sense to me, and definitely does not compile in VS2003 C++. if you have a smart pointer example that VA fails to handle then i am quite happy to test it to see if i can reproduce the problem.

class Test
{
public:
 void Foo() { /* some code */ }
};

template <class T> class MySmartPointer
{
 T* ptr;

public:
 MySmartPointer(T *p) : ptr(p) { }
 ~MySmartPointer() { delete ptr; }

 T* operator->() { return ptr; }
};

void FooTest()
{
 MySmartPointer<Test> tptr(new Test);

 tptr->Foo(); // does VA popup the member list for "Foo" here? Not for me.
}

template <class T> MyListEntry 
{
 T* ptr;
 MyListEntry<T> *next;

 T* operator() const { return ptr; }

 MyListEntry<T> *GetNextLE() { return next; }
};

[... some other code ... ]

MyListEntry<T> *DoSomething(MyListEntry<T> *le)
{
 while(le)
 {
  if(le->Foo()) // note "Foo" is SomeClass::Foo"
   return le;

  le = le->GetNextLE();
 }
 
 return NULL;
}
