    Post Outputting String arrays in windows

    Ok, I am making a battleship game, where I created an array of characters, 10x10. I filled every little element with a '1'. When I created nested loops and TextOut to display the grid, it never showed. Once I got it to actually tell me somthing, but it didn't like haveing an array as the string to output.
    Code:
    	case WM_PAINT:	//Repainting the Window
    		{
    			hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);
    			hdc=GetDC(hwnd);
    			int br=0;
    			for (int x=0; x<10; x++)
    			{
    				for (int y=0; y<10; y++)
    				{
    				TextOut(hdc, br, 0, grid[x][y], grid[x][y]);
    				br+=2;
    				}
    			}
    			
    			
    			EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);
    			return(0);
    		}break;
    Oh, and here is my array:

    Code:
    char grid[10][10] = {
    	{'1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1'},
    	{'1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1'},
    	{'1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1'},
    	{'1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1'},
    	{'1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1'},
    	{'1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1'},
    	{'1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1'},
    	{'1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1'},
    	{'1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1'},
    	{'1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1','1'}
    }
    Could someone PLEASE tell me how to output this array to the screen with textout()! Thanks in advance.

    A couple of points -

    1) You don't need to get the dc twice.

    2) Characters are larger than 1 or 2 pixels wide. You'll either have to use some value that you know will be greater that the max width/height or get the average values.

    3) The TextOut function is parameters are hdc,x,y,LPCSTRint.

    Something like this should draw a grid of 1's -

    Code:
    case WM_PAINT:
    		{
    		
    			hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
    			
    			for (int x=0; x<200; x+=20)
    			{
    				for (int y=0; y<200; y+=20)
    				{
    				TextOut(hdc,y, x, &grid[x/20][y/20], 1);
    				
    				}
    			}
    			EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);
    		
    		}break;

    Ok, I've no idea what you're doing without seeing your code. Don't you want a 10x10 grid?

    yes, i want a 10x10 grid. Then I want a loop that uses TextOut() to display every little '1' in the grid.

    If you are using TextOut you will want to get some details about the current font and character sizes first.You need to know the client area size so in your WM_SIZE do something like this...
    ClientWidth=LOWORD(lParam);
    ClientHeight=HIWORD(lParam);
    These variables need to be statically allocated to your winproc.
    now maybe in WM_CREATE you need to make a call to GetTextMetrics(HDC,TEXTMETRIC&).look it up at msdn.From that you can work out whether you have a fixed width or variable width font.You will also need to work out your text dimensions such as average char width and average char height.Once you have that part done you can now work out how many lines of text you can get into the client area and how many chars you can fit on a line. for more info look at msdn
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
    And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi

    One option is to store the array in memory in a way which will make it easier to display, while still being easy to use.

    A really easy thing to use, which makes printing and altering easy, would be an array that was contiguous in memory, with each row separated by newlines, and the end null terminated. Then, you could pass a pointer to the first character and let it print.

    This takes some code to setup, but it's not very hard. And it makes displaying as easy as passing grid[0] as the string parameter. This is probably the best way to internally represent the grid given what you are doing with it.

    Do this to init the grid:
    Code:
    char ** grid;
    int i;
    grid = (char **)malloc(sizeof(char * ) *10); //allocate pointers
    grid[0] = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * 12 * 10 + 1);//allocate the full array, contiguously
    for (i = 1; i < 10; i++){
       grid[i] = grid[0] + i * 12 * sizeof(char); //set each row ptr.
    }
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++){
       grid[i][10] = 0x0D;
       grid[i][11] = 0x0A;
    }
    grid[9][12] = '\0'; // last row has 13 chars to accomodate \0
    //
    // Body here
    //
    free(grid[0]);
    free(grid);
    Now, grid[0] (or, if you prefer, you can use the equivalent by defintion expression *grid) is a char * which you can pass to a print function to print the whole array, with newlines, etc. Further, grid[i][j] is a character like your old array. The only differences is that there are extra characters -- the newline characters plus the null zero -- so each line is either 12 or 13 chars long, not 10. But just use i,j int he range of 0 thru 9, and it will behave like you want.

    here is some sample code from petzold that illustrates use of textout ( and scrollbars as a plus!)
    Code:
    /*-----------------------------------------------
       SYSMETS.H -- System metrics display structure
      -----------------------------------------------*/
    
    #define NUMLINES ((int) (sizeof sysmetrics / sizeof sysmetrics [0]))
    
    struct
    {
         int     iIndex ;
         TCHAR * szLabel ;
         TCHAR * szDesc ;
    }
    sysmetrics [] =

    Thanks! I will need no more help...because I gave up. The only way now that I will make games in is DirectX with Graphics. I'll store all those code until I need it. Thanks again.
