What am I doing wrong in this lint error suppression attempt? And is there a better way?

I have the following line of code: ``` ftDCB.ByteSize = FT_BITS_8; ``` And lint (PC-lint via Visual Lint, specifically) gives me a message 1924 on it ("C-style cast -- More Effective C++ #2"). FT_BITS_8 is #defined in a third party header file, and there's where the cast is: ``` #define FT_BITS_8 (UCHAR) 8 ``` And UCHAR is a typedef from another third party header file: ``` typedef unsigned char UCHAR; ``` The thing it's being assigned to (ftDCB.ByteSize) is a BYTE, which is also a typedef for an unsigned char: ``` typedef unsigned char BYTE; ``` I don't really want to modify the third-party headers, so I tried to suppress the message in my code: ``` //lint -e(1924) C-style cast ftDCB.ByteSize = FT_BITS_8; ``` But I get the same 1924 message. What am I doing wrong here? And is there a cleaner way to do what I want to accomplish (other than modifying the third-party header)?
