Pointer array / slider question

[roachic]

Hi everyone. I am trying to generate a certain number of sliders on my CDialog, that certain number is not fixed. I managed to make the sliders appear by doing this:

for certain length{
CSliderCtrl *tracker = new CSliderCtrl();
tracker->Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
CRect(left, top, right, bottom), this, i);
}

However when I try to get the results of each slider, it only returns the position of the last slider:

for certain length{
int f = tracker->GetPos();
Change f to fString;
MessageBox(fString);
}

Is the only around this to use arrays? I tried to set up an array of sliders but it's not working. I don't think I understand what I need to do to program it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

You are having a single dimension object and allocating only one object of the size and how you can expect it will maintain all the sliders entry.
As you have told it will return only the last window status.
If you want to have status of multiple sliders then declarethe pointer above the for loop and then allocate the required sliders and then iterate it to access every slider

Thanks you. I have tried to make an array of pointers but it's not working. I'm afraid I don't fully understand how to do that. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Just create an array of pointers:

CSliderCtrl* ctrls[10];             //10 pointers on stack
CSliderCtrl** ctrls = new CSliderCtrl*[10];   //10 pointers on heap
