    passing an int array into function

    Code:
    
    int  cbarray[20] = 
    { 
    "IDC_CHECK1", 
    "IDC_CHECK2", 
    "IDC_CHECK3",
    "IDC_CHECK4", 
    "IDC_CHECK5", 
    "IDC_CHECK6",
    "IDC_CHECK7", 
    "IDC_CHECK8", 
    "IDC_CHECK9",
    "IDC_CHECK10",
    "IDC_CHECK11", 
    "IDC_CHECK12", 
    "IDC_CHECK13", 
    "IDC_CHECK14",
    "IDC_CHECK15",
    "IDC_CHECK16", 
    "IDC_CHECK17", 
    "IDC_CHECK18", 
    "IDC_CHECK19",
    "IDC_CHECK20"
    ;}*/
            
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    void checkall()			
    {int i=0;
    	for(i=0; i<21 < i++)
    	{
    		SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd,cbarray[i], BM_SETSTATE, (WPARAM)TRUE, 0);
    	}
    
    }
    on msdn
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...temmessage.asp
    says that the identifier of the control is of type "int"
    so i put the identifiers into an array of type int and try to pass into a "for" loop
    but doesnt work.......
    getting " error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'char [12]' to 'unsigned int'
    This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast"

    any idea??

    No idea

    But "IDC_CHECK1", isn't an int, its a string

    Given the type of the array, perhaps you meant
    IDC_CHECK1,
    IDC_CHECK2,

    However, the name of the array suggests strings, so perhaps it should be
    char *cbarray[20] =
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
