This issue occurs when Visual C++ attempts to import one of our TLB files when generating the TLH wrapper file during processing of the #IMPORT compiler directive...
| Original #Import Directive |
|---|
| #import "iProfessionalLibrary.tlb" named_guids |
| Sample Error Message |
|
--------------------Configuration: iDispatchiLedMatrix - Win32
Debug-------------------- Compiling... iDispatchiLedMatrixDlg.cpp c:\test\debug\iprofessionallibrary.tlh(7446) : error C2535: 'long __thiscall iProfessionalLibrary::IiPieChartX::GetItemCount(void)' : member function already defined or declared c:\test\debug\iprofessionallibrary.tlh(7382) : see declaration of 'GetItemCount' c:\test\debug\iprofessionallibrary.tlh(7972) : error C2535: 'long __thiscall iProfessionalLibrary::IiPercentBarX::GetItemCount(void)' : member function already defined or declared c:\test\debug\iprofessionallibrary.tlh(7908) : see declaration of 'GetItemCount' Error executing cl.exe. iDispatchiLedMatrix.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) |
To fix this issue, simply utilize the rename attribute of the #import directive to rename the offending member function to something else. This is a problem with the Visual C++ parser's inability to automatically work around this problem, though it is easily fixed. If you use that particular member function, remember that you will need to use the renamed member function spelling instead (i.e. if you want to use the GetItemCount method of one of our components where you renamed the member function, you will need to call GetItemCountX instead.)...
| Fixed #Import Directive |

| #import "iProfessionalLibrary.tlb" named_guids rename("GetItemCount","GetItemCountX") |
