	ListFolderContents(path,tmp);
	return tmp;
}


CString getCurrentPath(CString folderNameCategory)
{
	///to someting
}


void  ListFolderContents(LPCTSTR lpszFolderPath, CStringArray& fileListing)
{
  ///to someting
}

the problems:

identtifier no found to the functios:
-setImagesFilesName()
-CString getCurrentPath(CString folderNameCategory)

Solution 1

Make these functions member functions of your class (as you have already tried) and then initialize in the constructor of your class. As the constructor is called for every object, you should include an additional static bool member variable, in which you can store the fact that you already have initialized your string array.

on CStringArray Shape::setImagesFilesName()

5ed. The advice is practically good, but the problem is deeper: it's pretty apparent OP has no clue how C++ development is done in general, in this case, modularity and extern linkage.
I would only advice to grab some C++ manual/tutorial and start from scratch. If OP already done that, step back; 1-2 steps back or so.

Thank you very much I will check it but it's a bit annoying why I do not want to create a list for each department

Perhaps you should tell us what you are trying to do.

The whole idea of programming is not do to anything manually. If you are doing something particular twice, you are already doing it wrong.

Thanks, Sergey. You may be right. But haven't we all started like that. OP is probably in a situation, in which he first wants to solve the problem at hand and then go back and study some chapters in a C++ manual. As long as step 2 follows step 1 that's fine with me.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 17-Oct-14 19:01pm

Sure, we did, but many of us, like myself, did not have many to answer our questions. It's perfectly all right; I just advise OP to put most effort in self-education and not just try.
