I found the reason for at least one of the script bugs that appear in the
Add Member Variable Wizard.

This is a followup to a 9-month old article.

I'm getting the same error at line1643 and using Visual Studio .NET 2003.

I get it when going into the "Add Member Variable Wizard" and I tracked it
down to this line in my source:

DDV_MinMaxInt(pDX, m_Hours[0], 0, HOURS_DAY - 1);

If I remove the "- 1", then I do not get the scripting error. It would
appear that the script, when parsing the DDX and DDV calls, cannot handle a
more complex expression because the following line works just fine.

DDV_MinMaxInt(pDX, m_Hours[0], 0, HOURS_DAY);

Hmmm.

const int hours = HOURS_DAY - 1;
DDV_MinMaxInt(pDX, m_Hours[0], 0, hours);

also seems to to work fine, so I guess that's what I'll have to do, as I
have about 10 of these spin controls on my dialog.

I hope this helps others. Before assuming that your VS.NET installation is
corrupted and doing a reinstallation as some have suggested, try doing a
little debugging as to what can be causing the scripts in the wizard to
choke when parsing your source code.
