    Linked List of forms

    I want to create a linked list of forms. I am using this code to create the form

    Code:
    ChildForm = new TChildForm(this);
    For the linked list I know I need a structure:

    Pointer to Childform
    Pointer to next node

    I need to know which part do I assign to the pointer to childform.

    Thanks

    Unless this is a school assignment where you have to roll your own list, it's easier and faster and safer to use C++'s list class
    Code:
    #include <list>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
      list<TChildForm *> myList;
    }
    Then you can treat it like a vector that's safe to insert anywhere. :-) If you have to roll your own then this is a good start
    Code:
    struct node {
      explicit node(TChildForm *content, node *link): form(content), next(link)
      {}
    
      TChildForm *form;
      node *next;
    };
    
    int main()
    {
      node *head = 0;
    
      for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) // Or some kind of loop
      {
        node *np = new node(new TChildForm(), head);
        head = np;
      }
    
      // Work with the list then free it
    }

    In an MDI application in Borland C++ Builder.
    If the list is declared in the Parent form globally is it visible in each of the child forms.

    I know global variables is bad programming practice
