Super Global Variables

There are times when a value needs to be shared.  My solution was to create a new class in the project then use that class in all instances that would like to utilize that value.
The first file would be the header.
[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]

#ifndef SD01_H
#define SD01_H


class sd01
{
    public:
        sd01();
        virtual ~sd01();
        bool doPdf;

    protected:

    private:
};

#endif // SD01_H

[/codesyntax]

That would be followed by the associated “cpp” file.

[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]

#include "sd01.h"

sd01::sd01()
{
    //ctor
}

sd01::~sd01()
{
    //dtor
}

[/codesyntax]

To gain access to the class make sure to use the include statement for the header file.

[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]

#include "sd01.h"

[/codesyntax]

To gain access to the file code something like this.

[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]

sd01 sd;

[/codesyntax]

To test the variable code something like this.

[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]

    if (sd.doPdf == true)
    {
        myParentFolder = _T("/home/archman/Documents/");
        cnt = dir.GetAllFiles(myParentFolder, allFileSpecifications, _T("*.pdf"));

    }

[/codesyntax]
