Pretty sure that's perfect for what I'm going for. Thanks Paul. However, my curiosity is still kicking around. Is it possible to initialize any sort of variable using a string variable?

Just for further clarity, I'm trying to make a function whose only purpose is to declare and initialize an array. The function takes one string input and uses that string input as the variable name...

Apologies for the lack of clarity, what I'm trying to do is just declare a number of arrays that would vary.

something that would essentially do something like this:

I'm pretty new to programming, I'm trying to figure out how to do something that I assume is relatively easy. All I'm trying to do is declare an array with a string so I could do it in a for loop...

Thank you all for the tips, I really appreciate it. A lot easier to get into the habit earlier than later.

As far as the drawing issue, it ended up being something pretty simple. Minimized and...

Paul, do you mean something like this?



if (BitBlt(.....)
[INDENT]BitBlt(....)

[INDENT]*some sort of error message*

So I'm trying to write a relatively basic blackjack programming for learning purposes. It seems like something really odd is happening when WM_PAINT is called. It works fine until I introduce an if...
