Re: container class for using a struct in std::vector<>

I have a std::vector< ICMP_ECHO_REPLY > container that I'd
like to be
able to do such wonderful STL operations as max_element(),
accumulate(), greater_equal(), etc... So, I decided I
would create a
class to contain that information and overload the
necessary operators.

The idea is that I should be able to do something like
this:

std::vector< ICMP_ECHO_REPLY > container;
ICMP_ECHO_REPLY reply;
//...
container.push_back( reply );
//...
std::vector< ICMP_ECHO_REPLY >::const_iterator itMax =
max_element(
container.begin() container.end() );

Thus far, I've got something like the class below, but I
the error:
error C2678: binary '<' : no operator found which takes a
left-hand
operand of type 'const CEchoReply' (or there is no
acceptable
conversion)

So, first, I'd like to know if there is a better way of
doing this.
Second, what is it I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,
PaulH

class CEchoReply
{
public:
   ICMP_ECHO_REPLY _reply;
   CEchoReply()
   {
       ZeroMemory( &_reply, sizeof( ICMP_ECHO_REPLY ) );
   };
   CEchoReply( const ICMP_ECHO_REPLY& reply )
   {
       memcpy( &_reply, &reply, sizeof(
ICMP_ECHO_REPLY ) );
   };
   ~CEchoReply()
   {
   };
   operator ICMP_ECHO_REPLY() const { return _reply; };
   bool operator < ( const ICMP_ECHO_REPLY& lhs )
   {
       return lhs.RoundTripTime < _reply.RoundTripTime;
   };

};In addition to Victor's reply, you could inherit CEchoReply
