filenames

assuming that i have a program that allows me to save files. how do i make the default filenames to be ( let say ) "image0" for the first file, "image1" for the second file and so on ?

dear anonymous,

try this simple things:
Assuming that your class is CMyImage, add 2 statics members:
static CString m_sBaseName;
static int m_nNumber;

Provide also a method that asks for m_sBaseName and inits m_nNumber to 0

Then each call to a method as SaveImage will create the name of the saved file as:
CString name;
name.Format("%s%d",CMyImage::m_sBaseName,CMyImage::m_nNumber);
CMyImage::m_nNumber++;

That's all and is simple (because I am used to do that!).

Hope this will help you
