Creating array of buttons in Visual C++

[alexon1ine]

Dear All

I have code in C# program:

int myHeight=30;
int myWidth=90;
Button[,] ba = new Button[2, 2];
for (int i=0; i<2;i++)
for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
{
ba[i, j] = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
ba[i, j].Height = myHeight;
ba[i, j].Width = myWidth;
ba[i, j].Location = new Point( i * myWidth,j * myHeight);
ba[i, j].Text = i.ToString() + j.ToString();
panel1.Controls.Add(ba[i, j]);
}

How write it in VC++?

My problem is
Button[,] ba = new Button[2, 2];
I do not know how write it in VC++

thank you

The first question is - why do you need7wnat to create this array in the heap?
Why not just set the class member variable:

CButton m_arButton[2, 2];

Then you could create the button controls using CButton::Create method.
See MSDN for details.

Also MSDN has a couple of good Tutorials in VC++

[alexon1ine]

can you do it without MFC

[VictorN]

Sure! but it would be more complex than using MFC.
Create a Win32 project.
Declare the array:

HWND hwndButton[2, 2,];

And read MSDN in "Platform SDK: Windows User Interface" section about buttons, button creating and using:
Buttons
Using Buttons

[alexon1ine]

this code

CButton m_arButton[2, 2];
and
HWND hwndButton[2, 2,];

does not work without new *.h files.

this one is working
Button Bbutt ;
but i need more
i trying to use
Button Bbutt [2];
but

My project use standard windows libraries, without ATL

this code

CButton m_arButton[2, 2];
and
HWND hwndButton[2, 2,];

does not work without new *.h files.

What do you mean?
Have you created a new VC++ project? Which type of project?

this one is working
Button Bbutt ;
but i need more
i trying to use
Button Bbutt [2];

What is Button ? Is ot still c# ?
Did you look at MSDN sample code in the link I had posted you?

but

IWhat is "System::Windows::Forms::Button"?
Is it still c#?

[alexon1ine]

No it's not C#, it's C++
buty form from C#

[VictorN]

No it's not C#, it's C++
buty form from C#

Sounds like this is a problem (form from C# in the c++ project)!

[alexon1ine]

thanks for all of your for help
I need learn more

Anyone used the array of the buttons in C++?
If yes, plz write code with declaration

[VictorN]

I already posted you the "code with declaration"!
If you are not be able to use it properly - it is your problem! However, you are always welcome to get some help. The only thing you have to do in this case - provide some useful information about your problem and the code being used.

If you can't let your project work with an array of buttons - please begin with only one button. After such a project will have worked - change the button declaration to the array and try with it.

Are we talking about Managed C++/CLI? Then we're in the wrong forum, but anyway:

// create 2d array of buttons
cli::array<Button^, 2>^ buttons = gcnew cli::array<Button^, 2>(2, 2);

// initialize buttons
for (int x = 0; x < 2; ++x)
{
    for (int y = 0; y < 2; ++y)
    {
        buttons[x, y] = gcnew Button();

        //...
    }
}

unbelievably...
but fact
It's works )))))
Thank you

Where is it C++/CLI forum?
I use Visual.Net
My project in C++ language

[VictorN]

Where is it C++/CLI forum?

http://www.codeguru.com/forum/forumd...aysprune=&f=17 - just goto the combobox "Forum Jump" and select "Managed C++ and C++/CLI"

I use Visual.Net
My project in C++ language

Not really. Probably, Managed C++/CLI?
