An Easy Windows GUI Question

[jokes_finder]

Hello there,

I was trying to build a standard calculator version. The standard calculator is just like the calculator that comes with MS Windows.

As you can observe, there are 17 buttons. I am too lazy to copy and paste the function CreateWindow() 17 times ( note: there are 4 differences for each - namely the x and y coordinates, the name (LPCSTR) and the hMenu parameters - ). So I have written a general formula for them and put it in loops:

                        char numbers[10] = "741852963";
			int i = 0, j = 1, counter = 0;
			while(i<3)
			{
				while(j<4)
				{
					window = CreateWindow("button", (LPCSTR)numbers[counter], WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD, 35*i+5, 35*j+10, 30, 30, wnd, (HMENU)(UINT_PTR)counter, NULL, NULL);
					j += 1;
					counter += 1;
				}
				i += 1;
				j = 1;
			}

but nothing happened!!!

Thanks guys... I have found a solution to the problem..
Here's the code after the modifications:

                        char numbers[] = "7410852.963=/*-+";
			char temp[2];
			int i = 0, j = 1, counter = 0;
			while(i<4)
			{
				while(j<5)
				{
					sprintf(temp, "%c", numbers[counter]);
					window = CreateWindow("button", temp, WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD, 35*i+5, 35*j+10, 30, 30, wnd, (HMENU)(UINT_PTR)counter, NULL, NULL);
					j += 1;
					counter += 1;
				}
				i += 1;
				j = 1;
			}

and thanks again

I doubt that "(LPCSTR)numbers[counter]" is at all what you want for that parameter, since it is unlikely that anything meaningful (to you) is stored at address 0x00000007 (for instance).
