Name look up compilation error

[siddhu]

dear experts,

I have put my class in a namesapce. in implementing the method it
calls some methods implented in .h file.
In that .h file it calls some other methods.
Following is the content of .h file included in my source code

#ifdef GetNextWindow
#undef GetNextWindow
AFX_INLINE HWND GetNextWindow(HWND hWnd, UINT nDirection)
{ return ::GetWindow(hWnd, nDirection); }
#endif

I am getting following error in VC7.

Error 3 error C2039: 'GetWindow' : is not a member of '`global
namespace'' c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\atlmfc
\include\afxv_w32.h 236

If I remove my class from namespace (i.e. my class definitions are not
in my namespace but in global namespace) same thing is getting
compiled. But i want it to put in my namespace.
Any suggestion would be of great help.

Thanks
Siddharth

OK. It would be better to read C++ instead of English, but OK.

In that .h file it calls some other methods.

"It"? Who is "it"?

Following is the content of .h file included in my source code

#ifdef GetNextWindow
#undef GetNextWindow
AFX_INLINE HWND GetNextWindow(HWND hWnd, UINT nDirection)
{ return ::GetWindow(hWnd, nDirection); }
#endif

Error 3 error C2039: 'GetWindow' : is not a member of '`global
namespace'' c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\atlmfc
\include\afxv_w32.h 236

If 'GetWindow' is not in the global namespace, where is it?

You keep telling about your class. But the problem is that it
can't see 'GetWindow'. What's 'GetWindow'?

Any suggestion would be of great help.

Post complete minimal code that exhibits the problem you're asking
about.

Your description of the problem is everything but clear. However my magic
ball tells me you are including some headers from inside your namespace.
This is a big no-no, an #include line should never be inside a namespace!
