free memory?

[Gldnguppy]

I am using a CStringArray in my program. I wish to not only free the memory associated with the pointers to the strings in the array (as is done with RemoveAt() and RemoveAll()), but I also wish to free the memory allocated to the actual strings. MSDN doesnt list a function for doing this. How do I do it manually?
Thanx

hi
check the CString::FreeBuffer()

Do you mean CString::ReleaseBuffer()? I don't see a CString::FreeBuffer(). So, I would have to loop through the array, set each string to "", and call ReleaseBuffer() on each? If I understand it all right, I think that's what I need to do. Seems like there would be an easier way.

I'm just getting this back at the top. Could somebody tell me if there is an easier way?

Do you see memory leaks?
Read in MSDN about CStringArray:
"When a CString array is deleted, or when its elements are removed, string memory is freed as appropriate."


It is nice to be important, but more important to be nice.

thanks, the RemoveAt() and RemoveAll() functions were CObjectArray base functions and for CObjectArray they do not free the objects. But I guess in the case of CStringArray the strings are deleted. Perhaps the memory leaks I thought I had were related to my CTypedPtrArray and not the string array.
Appreciate the help.
