Array question

Hi
Iam using Borland Builder 5, and Ive got 10 TImages called Image1, Image2....Image10. I want to add these images to an array of type TImage can I do that in a for loop or do i have to add each Image by itself.

CPP / C++ / C Code:

//this is the method Iam using
TImage ImageArray[10];
ImageArray[0] = Image1;
ImageArray[1] = Image2;
ImageArray[9] = Image10;

//this is the method I want to use
for( int i = 0; i <10; i++)
{
 ImageArray[i] = XXX //what should replace the XXX if this is possible
}

I assume that you load the image information to Image1,Image2,..,Image10 from an imagefile (e.g. png, jpg..or whatever you use) earlier in your code.

In that case you could do like following:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

TBitmap *myBM;

for( int i = 0; i <10; i++)
{
    myBM = new Graphics::TBitmap;
    myBM->LoadFromFile( filename );
    ImageArray[i]->Picture->Graphic( myBM );
}

As you see simple idea. Instead of many Image1...10 variables just load directly the data to the array. plz keep in mind that the above code is not tested, just wrote from what I remember from 2 years ago using borland but it is just to show you the general idea.

btw you cannot "variabelize" the name of a variable itself as it seems you were after this kind of idea. And there is no need to for such complication; arrays are quite sufficient.
