Sorry, but I don't understand your question. The line:

Code: Select all

(new MyRawBitmapFrame(this))->Show();

is valid C++ code. This is exactly the same as writing:

Code: Select all

MyRawBitmapFrame *p = new MyRawBitmapFrame(this);
p->Show();

But I agree that the former is not (IMHO) good readable style.

error C2059: syntax error : 'new'
can anyone explain to me what that line is all about?!

Could you give the complete compiler log and what compiler you use?
This is not really an error, as it is valid C++ code, though bad style...

The code simply creates an instance on the heap, but omits storing a pointer to is. Normaly you don't want that as this implies that you won't be able to access the instance after the call. It's "bad style" you can't even delete the instance. One might argue now that when using wxWidgets you don't need to delete the instance yourself, as long as it derived from wxObject, which would lead to deleting it "automatically" once the library exits. Still, IMHO, one shouldn't do that unless you're really sure that you'll never need access to the instance and that you won't be getting memory leaks doing so...
