Question

So I have this simple code snippet:

CString str;
..................
if ( str.IsEmpty() )
   str = spRelease->GetID();

I want to put a conditional breakpoint on the last line to test if str is empty.
I tried this first:

str == ""

But I get this:

Error overloaded operator not found

Then this:

str.isEmpty() == 0

And get this:

Symbol isEMpty() not found

Any idee how this could be done ? Any workaround ?

Thanks.

Why don’t you just put a normal breakpoint on the last line? You already know str is empty. If you want to double check whether your string is empty, I would use an ASSERT instead.

If you really have to check your string, you have to check m_pszData in your CString, so your condition looks like this:

str.m_pszData[0] == '\0'
