MQSeries.net :: View topic - How do I initiate a non-static MQMD variable?

Hi,

My C++ program access MQ through API. I need to define and initiate a MQMD object to work with. I don't want this object to be static and I want to initiate it to MQMD_DEFAULT. So, to do this, I have code like this:

public class MyClass
{
public:
MQMD md;
...
MyClass()
{
md = {MQMD_DEFAULT}; // <= error C2059: syntax error
}
...
}

When I tried to initiate md in the constructor, I got the syntax error above. I can use the same syntax to initiate md if I make it a static variable and do the initiation out side of the class definition. But, unfortunately, I can't use static variable and it is also important that md to be initiated with MQMD_DEFAULT. I looked at the MQMD_DEFAULT and found that it is a big complex data structure. I don't want to use a big loop or something like that just to do the initiation. So what do I do? Do I have other options other than loop through the date structure one piece at a time?

Please execuse my ignorance. I must say that I am new on both MQ API and C++.

Thank you in advance!
