error C2664: 'setStartupDirectory' : cannot convert parameter
 

Hi

I have a virtual function setStartupDirectory()

virtual bool setStartupDirectory(const SysString &sStartupDirectory) = 0;

When I am calling this function
setStartupDirectory((const SysString &)m_pApplicationFolderNarrow);
I am getting this error
Error 2 error C2664: 'setStartupDirectory' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const SysString' to 'const SysString &'

Am I missing something

Re: error C2664: 'setStartupDirectory' : cannot convert parameter
 

Here..

virtual void CSample1::Sample(SysString str)

(

   if(str.empty())

      return;

   //...

)

virtual void CSample2::Sample(SysString &str)

{

   str="what's up";

}

int main()

{

   SysString str1="check";

   SysString str2;

   CSample1 s1;

   CSample2 s2;

   s1.Sample(str1);

   s2.Sample(str2);

   return 0; 

}

Hi

I have a function
bool setStartupDirectory(const SysString &sStartupDirectory)
{}

Now I want to give the prototype of the function how can I do that

You can directly make the call to the function as follows

setStartupDirectory(m_pApplicationFolderNarrow);
