Beginner Question about array of CStatics

Hi All..

I want to create a grid/table of CStatic text boxes. The size of the grid will be user defined.
Having created the text boxes I want to draw them on a dialog window.
I think I should use a CObArray of CStatic pointers.
I would then like to access any of the boxes using X,Y co-ordinates, so that I can assign numbers to the boxes. Im trying to create something to help my daughter learn her times tables !

Id be greatfull if anyone could show me the best way of doing this. Im afraid my programming skills are a little rusty !
Im using VC6.

Many thanks for your time!

Cheers

I'm not following the x y coordinates part.

An array of CStatic pointers sounds reasonable given my limited understanding of your requirements. I can't help wondering if a List Control would be an easier solution though.

Hi..
Thanks for the reply....

I thought the X,Y thing would be a way of accessing my array as if it was a table. i.e GetAtTable(5,4) would return me the number at the 5th column and 4th row even though the array is a single dimension.
Maybe Im making this harder than it should be !

Thanks

I thought you meant screen coordinates. You could make it a two dimensional array. That probably would be convenient.

yes... your probibly right

Can you tell me how I would declare, fill and create a 2d array of CStatic pointers please?

Thanks again
