CStringArray???

Hi,

I have the following problems:

1.) Is there a upper limit of the size of assigning a CtringArray?
eg. CStringArray data;
data.SetSize(?);
2.) Is it possible to have a two-dimensional CStringArray?

3.) Besides using SetSize to allocate the size, can I use
"new" to allocate the size.
e.g. CStringArray data = new CStringArray [1000];

Thanks!!!

Hi Sir,

I want to ask whether I need to free the memory after using CStringArray in a class.
eg. in the myfile.h, I have declared CStringArray temp;

then in the myfile.cpp I have delcared : temp.SetSize(1000) and initialize the array in the
function.

Do I need to free the memory after exiting the function?

Thanks

What goes into a CStringArray are string that you have allocated. Thus you need to free those strings but you don't need to worry about the array, unless you've allocated it with new.

Example:

CStringArray* pArray = new CStringArray; // will have to be freed
CStringArray array; // Won't have to be freed.

// What goes into those arrays are allocated strings.
CString* pString = new CString;

pArray->Add(pString);
array.Add(pString);`

pArray->RemoveAll();
array.RemoveAll();

delete pString;
