Hi people, I'm getting this error.


Myles error LNK2005: "protected: static struct AFX_MSGMAP const *
__stdcall CSplashWnd::GetThisMessageMap(void)"
(?GetThisMessageMap(a)CSplashWnd@@KGPBUAFX_MSGMAP@@XZ) already defined in
Splasher.obj


What does it mean? I don't get it. it may be defined in Splasher.obj,
but where else is it also defined?? Also, where is Splasher.obj coming
from? Is it coming from a file I have named Splasher.cpp? I don't get
it.

At the start of the line with "error LNK2005", does it list some other
file.obj?

If you have such a file, then almost certainly. Users can control the naming
of object files, but the default is for source code files to be converted
into obj files with the same name.

Recheck all your message map definitions. It seems tha you
copied message map beginning

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CSplashWnd, <baseClass>)

to other places and forgot to change `CSplashWnd' to
relevant class name.

Thanks. That wasn't it, but it was close enough to help me find the
problem. Some else did the copying and left me to fix the mess ;) I
just had to delete the old file which he left around but was no longer
using.
