Very Computer

   I've got a derived IconPane which I'm trying to get to handle Drag and
Drop.  In the header, I have:

static CDropIcon* CreateDropIconStream(LStream *inStream);

   In the source, I have:

CDropIcon*
CDropIcon::CreateDropIconStream(
   LStream  *inStream)
{
   return (new CDropIcon(inStream));

Quote:}

   The linker says:

Error   : function call '__ct(int, LStream *)' does not match
'__ct(CDropIcon *const , short)'
'__ct(CDropIcon *, short, const CDropIcon &)'
CDropIcon.cp line 17   return (new CDropIcon(inStream));

   Now I have another project which has a derived LWindow and uses the
exact same format as the above, but works.  But for this project, it's not
working.  Any ideas?

: The link error seems to indicate that you haven't declared a constructor
: for your pane that takes an LStream* as an argument:

: In your class definition, add

:    CDropIcon(LStream * inStream);

: and in your source:

: CDropIcon::CDropIcon(LStream *inStream)
:         : LIconPane(inStream)  // or whatever the actual base class is
: {
:    // any additional initializations
: }

        That seems odd... My other project had a CVideoWindow which was
derived from LWindow, LListener, and LPeriodical and had the same default
format for Create___Stream (without the ctor) and it linked fine.  What
makes it different from this LPane derivation?
        And when can we expect a PowerPlant book that expands beyond the
Cookbook and Sydow's "MW Codewarrior Programming"?

        Oh, and thanks - to you and Eric S.  :)

        Ach.  Never mind that last message.  I overlooked that I was adding
another constructor in (and not just adding to the one I had) while cursing
out Panix and their modem screwups at the time I was reading it.
        I added it and it worked fine.  Again, thanks!
