Resolve c++ pointer-to-member error in VS 2003 - c++

Question

I have a c++ program that I'm trying to port from VS98 to VS2003 (incremental steps). One error that occurs throughout is "Error 2275"
For instance: k:\RR\chart\chartdlg.cpp(2025): error C2475: 'CRrDoc::cFldFilter' : forming a pointer-to-member requires explicit use of the address-of operator ('&') and a qualified name
The offending code is shown below:
void CDataPage::OnBtnLabelField()
{
FLDID fid ;
LPMFFIELD f ;
CRrApp *pApp = (CRrApp *)AfxGetApp();
CMainFrame *pFrame = (CMainFrame *)AfxGetMainWnd();
CRrDoc *pDoc = (CRrDoc *)pFrame->GetActiveDocument();
CSelectFieldDlg dlg;
//**************************************************
//BOOL CRrDoc::*zcFldFilter = &CRrDoc::cFldFilter;
//dlg.ck = CRrDoc->*zcFldFilter;
//**************************************************
dlg.ck = pDoc->cFldFilter ;
dlg.TitleTextID = IDS_2676;
fid = (FLDID)dlg.DoModal();
if (fid != NOID)
{
f = pDoc->m_pComposite->mfbyndx(fid);
// find index
int i, iCount;
iCount = m_lboxLabel.GetCount();
for (i = 0; i < iCount; i++)
{
if(fid == m_lboxLabel.GetItemData(i))
{
m_lboxLabel.SetCurSel(i);
OnSelchangeComboLabel();
}
}
}
}
I tried handling it according to a Microsoft page: But that just generated a set of other problems (the commented code between the asterisks). Note that I also commented out the following line:
dlg.ck = pDoc->cFldFilter
Unfortunately, this leads to a new error: k:\RR\chart\chartdlg.cpp(2022): error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'BOOL (__cdecl )(LPMFFIELD)' to 'BOOL CRrDoc:: '
The definition in the .H file looks like:
public:
static BOOL cFldFilter(LPMFFIELD f);
Any ideas how to handle the pointer-to-member issue?

Answer 1

since you have:
static BOOL CRrDoc::cFldFilter(LPMFFIELD f);
its type is not a member variable but a function:
//BOOL CRrDoc::*zcFldFilter = &CRrDoc::cFldFilter; // doesn't work
BOOL (*zcFldFilter)(LPMFFIELD) = &CRrDoc::cFldFilter; // works
Since dlg.ck is of a correct type, you should do
dlg.ck = &CRrDoc::cFldFilter;
