Overload "<<" for cout of an object

[pavanjosh]

Hello All,

Thanks very much for the support. But the problem is something like this

In managed C++ how do i make this happen,

say i have a class something like this

__gc class simple
{

public:
String *name;
int id;
simple(String *name,int id):name(name),id(id){}
};

int _tmain()
{

simple *s = new simple("xyz",100);

cout << s;
}

Now do i make that happen?
It is troubling me a lot

Please help if somebody finds a solution

Thanks
Pavan Johsi

I may be wrong but in the public section put


void operator <<(){cout << name;}

Nope, that won't work. You can only override a set of operators for managed classes, by using the op_<OperatorType> form.

Well, you should override ToString().

[Mitsukai]

you can.

you will have to replace cout with the type cout is using.

cout& operator <<(cout& p_Stream, simple& p_ToCout)
{
cout << p_ToCout.name;
return(p_Stream);
}
