C++ Compilation error (peak plugin)

Tril · Mar 25, 2005, 03:44 AM

I tried to compile the peak plugin from the SDK. It gives me an error. Here it is :

Quote:

peak.cpp(49) : error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'void (__thiscall iPeakPluginDlg::*)(unsigned long)' to 'void (__thiscall CWnd::*)(unsigned int)'
Pointers to members have different representations; cannot cast between them

It links to the following line in peak.cpp :

Quote:

ON_WM_TIMER()

I copied the some needed files from the demo plugin folder and edited them to work with peak. Any help solving the issue would be appreciated.

It may have something to do with a different version of the MFC library. Try changing the parameter that is passed to the OnTimer function from UINT_PTR to UINT (in both the .h and .cpp file).

That worked. Thank you. I would never have found the solution myself as I don't have enought C++ knowledge for that.

I want to use a timer in a plugin i'll make so I wanted to first successfully compile a plugin that contains one before starting to implement it in my own plugin.
