Question

My requirement is that given a string as key to the map, I should be able to retrieve a structure.

Can anyone please post sample code for this?

Ex:

struct
{
int a;
int b;
int c;
}struct_sample;

string1 -> strcut_sample

Answer 1

CMap<CString,LPCTSTR, struct_sample,struct_sample> myMap;

struct_sample aTest;
aTest.a = 1;
aTest.b = 2;
aTest.c = 3;
myMap.SetAt("test",aTest);
...

    struct_sample aLookupTest;
    BOOL bExists = myMap.Lookup("test",aLookupTest); //Retrieves the 
                             //struct_sample corresponding to "test".

Example from MDSN for further details of CMap.
