No-one replied to my previous post so I am having another go ....

I have these classes and I wish to setup up a AutoExp.dat entry to
display TagletNamed (and also some more complicated derivatives of
Taglet). (The 'string' class is the STL one.)

class Taglet
{
  protected:
  enum {TCLeft, TCRight, TCTop} m_eCategory;
public:
  virtual Taglet* Clone() = 0;
  virtual string GetString() const = 0;

class TagletNamed : public Taglet
{
protected:
  string m_strName;
public:
  TagletNamed(string a_strName);
  TagletNamed(const TagletNamed& a_tltOther);
  virtual Taglet* Clone();
  virtual string GetString() const;
  virtual string GetName() const;

protected:
 void CopyAssign(const TagletNamed& a_tltOther);

If I use
TagletNamed=cat=<m_eCategory> name=<m_strName._Ptr,s> then, in the
Watch window or wherever, I get
{cat=TCLeft name=???}

I have tried all sorts of combinations (with or without the '._Ptr',
with all the string type format specifiers or none) and it will just
not display m_strName.
This despite the fact that if I watch the m_strName variable
individually - say in the TagletNamed constructor - it displays fine!

Can anyone tell me what the right format is?

Thanks in advance
