CMap::operator [ ]

Use this operator as a convenient substitute for the SetAt member function. You can only use it on the left side of an assignment statement (an l-value). If there is no map element with the specified key, then a new element is created.

There is no "right side" (r-value) equivalent to this operator because there is a possibility that a key may not be found in the map. Use the Lookup member function for element retrieval.

VALUE& operator[]( ARG_KEY key );
