CObject::CObject

Syntax

CObject();

CObject( const CObject& objectSrc );

Parameters

objectSrc

A reference to another CObject.

Remarks

These functions are the standard CObject constructors. The default version is automatically called by the constructor of your derived class.

If your class is serializable (it incorporates the IMPLEMENT_SERIAL macro), then you must have a default constructor (a constructor with no arguments) in your class declaration. If you don't need a default constructor, declare a private or protected “empty” constructor. For more information, see “How to Derive a Class from CObject” in Chapter 8 of the Class Libraries User's Guide.

The standard C++ default class copy constructor does a member-by-member copy. The presence of the private CObject copy constructor guarantees a compiler error message if the copy constructor of your class is needed but not available. You must, therefore, provide a copy constructor if your class requires this capability.
