Question

Language: Visual C++, MFC

I’m attempting to make an array of pointers to CString variables that I have declared in my header file. In general, this is what I’m doing:

CString *variableArray[5] = {
      &var1
    , &var2
    , &var3
    , &var4
    , &var5
};

For whatever reason, though, I keep getting the following error:

Error   1   error C2065: 'var1' : undeclared identifier     18  
Error   2   error C2065: 'var2' : undeclared identifier     19
Error   3   error C2065: 'var3' : undeclared identifier     20  
Error   4   error C2065: 'var4' : undeclared identifier     21
Error   5   error C2065: 'var5' : undeclared identifier     22

I’m not quite sure I’m getting this error. To me knowledge, this is the correct way to make an array of pointers. Any help would be awesome!

EDIT: Here are the declarations in the header file:

public:
CString var1;
CString var2;
CString var3;
CString var4;
CString var5;

Where do you create “variableArray”? If it’s in a static method or outside the scope of the class, it would make sense why you’re getting that error.
