So I find out you can't define a stl container as a member in a windows form class... fine. So I build my own container, (dynamic stack of string), and try to define that... same error. Which I KNEW I would get... my question is:

Using VC++ (CLI) am I stuck with a plain old array or can I use ANYTHING better?

I'm trying to make an array I can dynamically make bigger/smaller and add/remove more items. I didn't want to simply define a huge array and fill it with crap, but thats what I'm thinking I might have to do. Does this make sense?

thanks if anyone can answer this question.

Well you could add something like a static ArrayList to the form...

CODE

static ArrayList^ blah = gcnew ArrayList();


That will give you the basics of adding and removing like a vector would. ArrayList is part of the System::Collections namespace that is included by default with windows apps in VC++ 2005.

You could use the ArrayList to add primitive types or complex objects. So the flexibility should be there.

Hope this makes up for the bad news that you can't have mixed types. smile.gif

Why not just use a linked list?

He could use a linked list as well, they are all types of collections and it might be a bit more efficient depending on what he needs it for. However most people find an ArrayList pretty straight forward to work with so unless he needs the extra performance it really doesn't matter since they are essentially used the same way. Good call musya. smile.gif

linked lists are ok, but more annoying to use. Good idea none the less, I might use one or the other.
