Using APIs with MFC

[YeongHun Kim]

Hi,

I'm trying to use OpenSim & Simbody APIs with MFC (developing in VS 2010)
But there are some errors when using OpenSim APIs.
When I include OpenSim.h in my project file, error C2589 is occured.
It does not occured when I use win32 console application project.
So I also trying to build SimBody and OpenSim from sources,
but problem was not solved.

Is there any thing I should do for using OpenSim APIs with MFC?

Or, is there anyone who using OpenSim APIs with QT platform?

Thanks.

Please provide detailed information about exactly what problem you are encountering. My guess is that a macro defined by one of the MFC headers is redefining a symbol that it is in use in OpenSim, but it is hard to tell without knowing precisely what the compiler is complaining about.

Thanks for your reply.

The message that [error c2589 '(' : illegal token on right side of ':: '] is occured
when I trying to use OpenSim headers with MFC.

Detail messages are like this.

Thanks -- it looks like those are complaints about calls to the C++ standard library function std::max(). That is likely because Microsoft foolishly includes max (and min) macros in some Windows headers. Microsoft provides some advice here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/143208. Basically you can prevent the definition of those macros by preceding your first Windows include with

Code: Select all

#define NOMINMAX

Thanks, Sherman~!

I solve the problem by using your suggested method.

(Actually there are some problems remains using with MFC,
but with win32 dialog, using #define NOMINMAX solve the problem.)
