Question

I am writing an application based on wxWidgets library. I had some classes which support application data. They use types as std::string, which shouldn’t be used in application written with wxWidgets lib.
E.g.

class SomeClass
{
    private:
      char name[80];
      (.....)
    public:
      (.....)
};

Now I have something like that:

class SomeClass
{
    private:
      wxString name;
      (.....)
    public:
      (.....)
};

(Yes, I know that char isn’t string – I decided to change char to string).
Compiler throws error:
‘wxString’ does not name a type
I tried to include file with class in many places, but result is always the same.

Answer 1

If compiler says the wxString is not declared then you must include the proper header.

Declare this line, make sure it’s NOT inside of #ifndef WX_PRECOMP.

#include <wx/string.h>
