control array of buttons

[deb9]

Hi,

I would like to draw, at run time, a checkers board (8x8 squares with alternating colors). I would like each square to be a button and I would keep a handle to each of these 64 buttons in a control array of buttons.

I dont know how to create these 64 buttons at runtime in VC++. Is it possible? Could somebody show me a small piece of code of how to do this?

Thanks

Debbie

In Charles Petzold's "Programming Windows" there's a chapter about the mouse.

The programs CHECKER1.C and CHECKER2.C show a very simple example with 25 "buttons", all of which are white.

If you look on Petzold's site, the programs for the older books are available for download.

I think the Mouse programs were in Chapter 4 (for Win3.1) and Chapter 6 for Win95.
