Pointer Error

[Tarun Batra]

This is mine COM.H

typedef class CFINetCom
{
public:

	HANDLE				m_hReplyMsg;

private:
	DWORD				Status;
	int				ServerPort;
	char*				ServerIP;



	HANDLE				hThread;
	HANDLE				hListenThread;
	HANDLE				heThreadClose;
	HANDLE				hNewMess;
	HANDLE				ConnectEvent;
	HANDLE				ListenEvent;

	SOCKET				ConnectSock;
	SOCKET				ListenSock;	

	CRITICAL_SECTION	MessageQueueCS;
	CRITICAL_SECTION	VarCS;

	PMESSAGENODE		MessageQueueFront;
	PMESSAGENODE		MessageQueueBack;
	int					m_iStatus;

	PMESSAGENODE		m_TempMessageQueueFront;
	PMESSAGENODE		m_TempMessageQueueBack;

	// thread
	static	DWORD WINAPI ServerConnectThread(CFINetCom* MyServ);
	void	DeleteMessageQueue(void);
	DWORD   inline RetFatalErr(DWORD Err);

} CFINetCom, *pCFINetCom;

This is mine pmain.h

#include"COM.h"
class CTIMSStreamerDlg
{
public:
	pCFINetCom			m_FINetCom;
	void StartConnectionThread();
public:
	
	//Threads
	static DWORD WINAPI MessageHandleThread(CTIMSStreamerDlg* pStreamerDlg);
	static DWORD WINAPI VideoStatusThread(CTIMSStreamerDlg* pStreamerDlg);
	static DWORD WINAPI ConnectionThread(CTIMSStreamerDlg* pStreamerDlg);
	static DWORD WINAPI MessageReplyThread(CTIMSStreamerDlg* pStreamerDlg);



}b;

this is mine pmai.cpp

#include"pmain.h"
#include"com.h"
 HANDLE m_hNewMsg;
int main()
{

	Createini();
m_hNewMsg=CreateEvent(NULL, FALSE, FALSE, NULL);
		if (m_hNewMsg == NULL)
	{
		printf("CreateEvent failed (%d)\n", GetLastError());
		return 1;
	}
m_FINetCom = new CFINetCom(m_hNewMsg);

I am getting an error that m_FINetCom is undefined although i have included the header file too,why is it so?

m_FINetCom is a member of CTIMSStreamerDlg, and it should be private. It should be initialised in the class constructor and released in the destructor.

Please do not write code like:

typedef class CFINetCom
{
//...
} CFINetCom, *pCFINetCom;

If you must typedef the pointer, do:

class CFINetCom
{
//...
};

typedef CFINetCom* PCFINetCom;

And even worse, never do this:

class CTIMSStreamerDlg
{
//...
}b;

Instead do:

class CTIMSStreamerDlg
{
//...
};

CTIMSStreamerDlg b;
