Hi all,
        I need to assign different values to a static variable of a
class. The following code do not work:

Set.h
class CSet
{
    public:
                 ......
                static int count ;

    protected:
                ........

int CSet::count = 0; // Is this line neccessary??

CSetView.cpp

............

if ( type = = "DS")
CSet::count = 0;

.....

The error message i got was :
unresolved external symbol "public: static int  CSet::count"

can someone tell me how to write to a static member?? I try declaring a
static member function and do the assignment inside it....and the same
problem still arise....i also try using friend static function and it
still won't work. btw, i am using VC++ 6.0

pls e-mail me in addition to the newsgroup.
Thanks in advance....

5

"int CSet::count" must be implement in *.cpp file.
unresolved means that your static member variable is not implemented
by some reason.

The code above is compiled find by Visual C++ 6.0
