Hello !

I have quite some experience programming for DOS, but I am new to both C++
and OS/2. Experimenting a little with Develloper Helper Objects, I came
across this error from GCC:

stdwin.cc: In method `long unsigned int TEditWindow::init()':
stdwin.cc:30: parse error before `='

where this is the offended function:

#define STDATTR = MultiLineEditTxtAttr(false,true,true,false,false,false)

// init
BOOL TEditWindow::init()
{
  TWindow::init;
  setTitle(Title);
  // the following line is the line with the parse error:
  Editor=new TMultiLineEditText(this,0,0,width,height,STDATTR);
  return (Editor==NULL);
}

the object definitionfile is as follows:

#include
#include"window.h"
#include"mledtext.h"

class TEditWindow: public TWindow
{
   protected:
     char *Title; // window-title
     TMultiLineEditText *Editor;  // is pointer to associated edittext
   public:
     TEditWindow( ULONG id , TWinBase *parent, char *aTitle);
     virtual ~TEditWindow();
     virtual BOOL init();
     virtual const char *getClassName(void);
};

Why is the line with the parse error an error??

Bye, Erik!
