[Dev-C++] scope resolution +1

[Daniel G. <sp...@ho...>]

What does it mean when you have the scope resolution operator and the single 
: in the same bit of code?

e.g.

CDialog1::CDialog1(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/)
	: CDialog(CDialog1::IDD, pParent)

?

It's an initalizer list.  A short summary of them can be found here,
http://pstonge.stmarys.medford.or.us/adv_cpp_1/lectures/advanced_functions2.
htm, and here, http://oakroadsystems.com/codeprac/inher.htm.  They're short,
but to the point.  Basically it's initalizing a data member to a value as
it's created, instead of normal constructors which do so afterwards.
