how to declare a structure and a class interlinked

[mosfet]

Hi,

I have some problems to write my class :

if I put the structure declaration before my class i have a compiler error
since my CHTTPServerCe is not yet known from the compiler but if I put it
after I have another error because inside my class I use my structure
(CloseConnectio n(LPREQUEST lpreq)). So how can I solve this problem

/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
CONNECTION Structure
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------*/
typedef struct tagREQUEST
{
CHTTPServerCE* pThis;
HANDLE hExit;
SOCKET Socket;
int nMethod;
DWORD dwConnectTime;
DWORD dwRecv;
DWORD dwSend;
HANDLE hFile;
TCHAR szFileName[_MAX_PATH];
}REQUEST, *LPREQUEST;
class CHTTPServerCE
{
public:
CHTTPServerCE() ;
virtual ~CHTTPServerCE( );
int StartServer(sho rt nPort);
int StopServer();
void CloseConnection (LPREQUEST lpReq);

TCHAR* m_szLogFile;
SOCKET m_sockServer;
HANDLE m_hevtStop; ///Handle of the thread stop event
HANDLE m_hThread;
USHORT m_nNumClient;

private:
void WriteLogFile(CS tring csLog);
void LogEvent(TCHAR* szPath, TCHAR* format, ...);
//void LogEvent(CStrin g csPath, CString lpFormat, ...);
static DWORD WINAPI ListeningThread (LPVOID lpArg);
DWORD ListeningThread ();
static DWORD WINAPI ClientThread(LP VOID lpArg);

};

if I put the connection structure before

Hello,

Try to forward declare your class before the structure as:
class CHTTPServerCE; // forward declaration
