[Mono-list] An array of SWF icons

[Jonathan S. Chambers]

Paul,
	You can't specify the array size in the declaration. You need.

private TextBox [] IP;

...

// constructor
ContainingClass()
{
	IP = new TextBox[4];
}

BTW, the fixed keyword is for pinning memory. 

Thanks,
Jonathan

Subject: [Mono-list] An array of SWF icons

Hi,

I'm not sure how to do this, so I'm a' askin'

I'm trying to create an array of TextBox icons. All of the text boxes
have the same properties, so creating them as an array makes sense (it
also means I can error handle easier).

Currently, the code looks like this

private TextBox IP[4];

...

for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i)
{
  this.IP[i] = new TextBox();
  this.IP[i].Size = new Size(60, 10);
  // and so on
}

this.IP.AddRange(new Control[] {this.IP[0], this.IP[1], this.IP[2], 
                                this.IP[3]});

However, this fails to compile. I've followed the suggestion of adding
fixed before TextBox, but that then complains 

list4.cs (16, 25): error CS1642: `testwindow.IP': Fixed size buffer
fields may only be members of structs

Is there a simple way around this?

TTFN

Paul
