FIX:ClassView Add Function/Variable Fails If Header File Moved (140270)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0
- Microsoft Visual C++ 4.1
This article was previously published under Q140270 SYMPTOMS
Attempting to add a function or variable to a class by using ClassView
fails and returns this message:
One or more of the files for <class name> are read-only.
Here <class name> corresponds to the class that is selected.
CAUSE
This is a bug that occurs if the header file for the class has been moved
from its original directory.
RESOLUTION
Either choose not to move the header files from their original location, or
add member functions and variables manually if you must move the files.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual C++,
32-bit Edition, version 4.2.
MORE INFORMATION
Moving the wizard-generated header files to another directory results in
their appearing as read-only when you attempt to use the ClassView add
function or add variable commands. Even if you add the new directory to the
include directory search path and update all dependencies, this problem
persists.
The files are not really read-only; they can be opened for editing through
all available avenues.
