Problem with Vector-Type Member Variable

[japhy]

Hi all,

I've been using vectors of CStrings in various functions in my code. I'd like to make one of them a class member variable

In the function, I declare it as such:

vector<CString> vec(100,"");

where it has a size and is initialized.

when I attempt to put this same line under the public heading of my class, i get "constant" errors...what am I doing wrong?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

You cannot call the constructor when you declare a variable inside a class. You call member variables' constructors in the initializer list of the class. For example:

class Foo
{
public:
  Foo() : vec(100) { }
private:
  std::vector<CString> vec;
};

Note that you don't need the "" in the vector constructor since it will just call the default CString constructor which creates an empty string.
