Challenging question about CButton class and arrays (please help)

[Iceman55555]

Here is what I’m trying to do…


I create an array like this

CButton squareArray[8][8];

I create buttons (CButtons) for my dialog and I would like to put those buttons into an array. When I create variables that are assosicated with the buttons (in this case, I made a variable called m_button1), they are lines that look like this...

DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_BUTTON1, m_button1);

When I try to assign the array position to the button, I get an error. Here is the line that causes an error

squareArray[1][1] = m_button1;

After trying something like this, I get this error

error C2582: 'CButton' : 'operator =' function is unavailable

I'm guessing you just can't do it, but can anyone give me some help or suggest anything else I might be able to do?

I was thinking about somehow assigning the array position to the button ID. I tried something like this for the hell of it...

DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_BUTTON1, squareArray[1][1]);

but that didn't work at all! If anyone can help I would surely appriciat it!!!

Thanks to whoever can help!

Simply make your array an array of pointers to the CButtons.
eg;
CButton *squareArray[8][8];

Then to assign;
squareArray[1][1] = &m_button1;
