creating array of objects ??

[Chris]

Hi,

to create an array of 2 objects (e.g. of type '__gc class Airplane') I need
to do :

Airplane * arrAirplanes __gc[] = new Airplane* __gc[2];
arrAirplanes[0] = new Airplane("N12344");
arrAirplanes[1] = new Airplane("N12345");

Actually, I create an array of Airplane-pointers first and then create the
objects afterwards.

Now, what I would like is create the objects immediately, when creating the
array, something I can do in unmanaged C++ :
MyClass *p= new MyClass[2];

here are the objects created immediately.

Unfortunately, this does not work when the class is declared with __gc.
Or is it possible anyhow ?

In short, how do I create an array of managed objects directly, instead of
having to create an array of pointers first and then make the pointers point
to valid objects.

Thanks
Chris

I have created few macros as Managed C++ array syntax is very, very weird.
Try this.....

#define MRArrayT(__T,__V) __T *__V[]

MRArrayT(MyObject, arrObj) = { new MyObject(), new MyObject() };

In the { } braces you create as many objects you want, and it creates the
arrObj, as an arrays.

Good Luck.

You can do this with value types.
