from vc++ 6.0 to vc++ 2008

[Cassie Tsui]

Hi,

I was using vc++ 6.0 long time ago and downloaded the 2008 express recently. When I tried to write a new MFC program, I found that the structure was changed a lot.

1. For example, function codes of OK_Click(when "ok" button is clicked) was move from .cpp to .h. Therefore i am not sure whether I should declare the global variables. Should I place them in location 1 or 2 (highlighted in green below)?

2. When I tried to declare an array with defined structure (highlighted in red below), it doesn't work! I have searched some posts in the net and tried syntax like array<route_data^>^route=gcnew array<route_data^> (100); but still failed. What I want is to build an array with 100 blank entries of several fileds named "type","name"...and will be filled with data after user click the "ok" button.


Please kindly help! Thank you.
