• “C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed” in a template function 1 answer

Following code compiled perfectly fine in VC++ 6.0, but when I opened the project in VS2005, I get this error:

BCGPopupMenu.h(100): error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

What could be the problem ?

class BCGCONTROLBARDLLEXPORT CBCGPopupMenu : public CMiniFrameWnd
{
public:
    enum ANIMATION_TYPE
    {
        NO_ANIMATION,
        UNFOLD,
        SLIDE,
        FADE
    };

static SetAnimationType (CBCGPopupMenu::ANIMATION_TYPE type)
    {
        m_AnimationType = type; // this line gives error
    }
protected:
    static ANIMATION_TYPE m_AnimationType;

};

Answer 1

static SetAnimationType (CBCGPopupMenu::ANIMATION_TYPE type)

there is no return value,you should do:

static void SetAnimationType (CBCGPopupMenu::ANIMATION_TYPE type)

Answer 2

One possible reason is missing definitions. When you switch IDE, make sure you add every path you need into project setting.
