error C2872: 'Point' and 'Rect' :...

Hi All,



I am making an automation plugin and trying to use gdi+. But it is giving Compilation error in PIGeneral.h and PIUtilities.h



Does anyone have any idea how can I remove this ambiguity so that it point to GdiplusTypes.h



Below are the errors..



Regards,

Sunil Kumar

I assume they are both in the std namespace? If so, seems like you'll need to wrap the gdi+ classes in a different namepsace so that there isn't any ambiguity.



Alternatively, you could refactor the Point and Rect structs in gdi+ to avoid the overlap.



Good luck.

Hi,



Thanks for your reply. Point and Rect are defined in PITYPES.h and also in GdipluTypes.h. It is giving the error in PIGeneral.h and in PIUtilities.h. I am not using the point and rect in my code. So, I cannot change the PIgeneral.h and I think it is only included in the ''projectname.r'' file of the project.



There must be some code which tells the compiler to include the GdiPlustypes.h in the project and leave the PITypes.h



Thanks and Regards,
