I have build 1437 on XP home, VS 2003, C++

with the following code :
CXmlNodeWrapper CXmlNodeWrapper::InsertChildNodeElement(int index, LPCTSTR nodeName, LPCTSTR value)
{
MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr newNode = InsertChildNodeElement(index, nodeName);
if(newNode != NULL)
{
newNode->PutdataType(_T("string"));
newNode->PutnodeTypedValue(value);
}
return newNode;
}

If I click on PutdataType, or PutnodeTypedValue, VAssist shows me :
"Interface* operator->() const" , and not those smart pointer methods ...
It seems to have troubles with the -> accessor.
The same thing is displayed while hovering over those methods.

Thank you for your reply,
Patrick REY

not being familiar with these classes i am not certain i am following this correctly. does this seem to be the same problem as here http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4239 ?

placing the caret inside "MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr" is giving me:

_COM_SMARTPTR_TYPEDEF(IXMLDOMNode, __uuidof(IXMLDOMNode))

in VA's definition bar, which is putting me in mind of the template smart pointer class CComQIPtr.

	Interface* operator->() const throw(_com_error)
	{ 
		if (m_pInterface == NULL) {
			_com_issue_error(E_POINTER);
		}

		return m_pInterface; 
	}

template<typename _IIID> class _com_ptr_t {
public:
	// Declare interface type so that the type may be available outside
	// the scope of this template.
	//
	typedef _IIID ThisIIID;
	typedef typename _IIID::Interface Interface;
.
.
.
.
private:
	// The Interface.
	//
	Interface* m_pInterface;

ether i have some knowledge of smart pointers, but so far i have resisted the urge to write my own there are just SO many classes and API's i come across on this forum that i gave up hope of understanding more than a small percentage of them

I can understand not writing your own. Hell, I prefer not to use any, if I can get away with it. They make the code harder to read for someone just starting out with COM.

I kind of figured you understood them a little, but I didn't want to assume you did. Just wanted to clarify why the parser may be having trouble and that it was reasonably understandable.
