Hi all,

I am simply calling initializing CWorkbook as follows. error while compling.

CWorkbook book( _T("Incognito") );
error: expected identifier before string constant
CWorkbook book( _T("Incognito") );
^
/Xlsx/../tchar.h:177:16: note: in definition of macro '_T'
#define _T(x) x
^
error: expected ',' or '...' before string constant
CWorkbook book( _T("Incognito") );
^
please letme know why can't I initialize;

I am initializing
CWorkbook book( _T("Incognito") ); as an attribute of a class name TracingResultExporter; The above compilation error comes.

please suggest me. where I am doing mistake.

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, than the compiler has counted your class variable as a class function.
This is an invalid declaration of a class variable. Your code should be something like this:
Header file:

class TracingResultExporter
{
    public:
        TracingResultExporter();
    private:
        CWorkbook book;
};

Cpp file:

TracingResultExporter::TracingResultExporter() : book( _T( "Incognito" ) )
{

}

If this does not work, show your minimum non-working code and write the name of your IDE.
