Array of Button like in C#

[Picander]

Hello,

I need to create a form with multiple buttons instances. In C#, this
would look like this

static string[] strCaption={"Button A","Button B","Button C"};
Button[] btnShow=new Button[strCaption.Length];

for(int i=0 ; i < strCaption.Length ; i++)
{
btnShow[i]=new Button();
btnShow[i].Text=strCaption[i];
btnShow[i].Size=new Size(200,20);
btnShow[i].Location=new Point(10,35*i+20);
btnShow[i].Click+=new EventHandler(Button_Click);
btnShow[i].Tag=i.ToString();
this.Controls.Add(btnShow[i]);
}

I try to code this in C++, but I have a lot troubles setting the
identifiers.

This:
Button* btnShow[]
....
btnShow[i]=new Button();
....

does not work. Any suggestions/code samples?

Thanks in advance,

Picander

Picander,

static string[] strCaption={"Button A","Button B","Button C"};
Button[] btnShow=new Button[strCaption.Length];

for(int i=0 ; i < strCaption.Length ; i++)
{
btnShow[i]=new Button();
btnShow[i].Text=strCaption[i];
btnShow[i].Size=new Size(200,20);
btnShow[i].Location=new Point(10,35*i+20);
btnShow[i].Click+=new EventHandler(Button_Click);
btnShow[i].Tag=i.ToString();
this.Controls.Add(btnShow[i]);
}

I try to code this in C++, but I have a lot troubles setting the
identifiers.

This:
Button* btnShow[]
...
btnShow[i]=new Button();
...

You declared the array but never created it!

Try:
Button* btnShow[] = new Button*[strCaption->Length];
....
btnShow[i]=new Button();
