<div>
you cannot declare a reference and assign it later. I suggest to declare and assign ad hoc as a local variable, like in:<br />
<br />
// declare locally<br />
CRichEditCtrl &amp;richCtrl=GetRichEditCtrl(<wbr />);<br />
// use it here<br />
richTrl.DoSomething();<br />
<br />
or even you can use directly without using a variable:<br />
GetRichEditCtrl().DoSometh<wbr />ing();<br />

</div>

It certainly works as you suggest, but I wonder if you hi\ave the time to explain why?

I am trying to get a CRichEditCtrl by creating a member variable<br />
<br />
CRichEditCtrl &amp;m_RichCtrl<br />
<br />
and then call m_RichCtrl=GetRichEditCtrl<wbr />();<br />
<br />
The compiler complains:error C2758: 'm_RichCtrl' : must be initialized in constructor base/member initializer list<br />
<br />
Can anyone explain why and how to fix it?<br />
<br />
Thanks, Rick

Getting CRichEditCtrl

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.

System Programming

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
