iterators

Hi,

I have a general question about iterators

suppose I have a class

class MyClass
{
public:
....
private:
PtrList m_ptrlist<somerecordtype>;
}

PtrList<T> is a class taht has an iterator implemented .. so i could
do:
m_ptrlist::iterator it = m_ptrlist.begin() .. and iterate / modify
items etc.

but suppose i want MyClass to be able to iterate over this list and
present that iteration interface to the user . what is the correct
way to do this?

Thanks!!

Huh? Didn't you mean

PtrList<somerecordtype> m_ptrlist;

???
} ;

No, you couldn't. 'm_ptrlist' is not a type nor is it a namespace.
You have to do

PtrList<somerecordtype>::iterator it = ...

There probably more than one correct way. You could define your own
type (MyClass::iterator, for example) by typedef'ing the PtrList's
one:

class MyClass {
...
typedef PtrList<somerecordtype>::iterator iterator;
};

and then provide your own 'begin', and 'end' member functions that
would return the right iterators:

class MyClass {
...
iterator begin() { return m_ptrlist.begin(); }
iterator end() { return m_ptrlist.end(); }
};

That ought to do it...
