MFC newbie question

[VictorB]

Hi, I rarely use C++, so when I have to, I'm trying to stick to the basics.

I am trying to make some sense of MFC by writing small GUI applications. Coming from a VB background, it seemed like a good point to start.

This is what I did: I started a new MFC project in Visual C++ 6 and let the wizard create it's standard classes. Whenever I'm "playing" with MFC, I build up from here.
The MFC wizard created this class for me:

class myApp : public CWinApp
{

public:
	myApp();
//and so on...

I added to this definition a few member variables and functions this way:

class myApp : public CWinApp
{
private:
	int myVar;

public:
	myApp();

             int myFunction();

//and so on...

then:

int myApp::myFunction(){
//do some stuff
}

All this compiled fine and ran as expected.

Then I tried to create a class. I added 2 files to the project, myClass.h and myClass.cpp:

//myClass.h

#ifndef _MY_CLASS_
#define _MY_CLASS_

class myClass{

private:
	int myValue;

public:
	myClass(){myValue = 0;}

	int GetValue();
}

#end if

//myClass.cpp

#include "myClass.h"

int myClass::GetValue(){
	return myValue;
}

Now, when I try to compile I get 3 errors:

error C2628: 'myClass' follwed by int is illegal (did you forget a ';' ?)

error C2556: 'class myClass __thiscall myClass::GetValue(void)' : overloaded function differs only by return type from 'long __thiscall myClass::GetValue(void)'

see declaration of 'getValue'

error C2371: 'GetValue' : redefinition: different basic types

Every book and online tutorial on C++ that I could find assure me this is OK, yet it doesn't compile. The compiler only accepts inline member functions, like the constructor for myClass.

What am I missing here? Is there some Visual C++ setting that I am overlooking? Why is it accepting my new functions when I add them to the wizard generated class, but not when I create my own class?
And, speaking of the wizard, was it Ok for me to add functions like that to it's class, or was I just lucky to get it to work? I noticed it also added a number of macros and comments I didn't understand to that class.

Nevermind, I found it. :o
