possible scope problem

[jedbartlet]

Bear with me if this seems like a basic question cos i'm quite new to c++.net. I've dynamically created an array of picture boxes at runtime, the number of which depends on what value the user enters. I've assigned each box an event handler for when the user clicks on that box. The prolem i'm having is that i can't access any of the properties of the picture box from the event handler. Can anyone help?!

Any chance you could post the relevant code?

void MyForm::InializeComponent(int x)

{

//All static form properties and components set here

....

 

PictureBox *Gallery[] = new PictureBox *[x];

for(int i =0; i<Gallery->Length; i++)

{

Gallery = new PictureBox;

Gallery->BorderStyle = BorderStyle::Fixed3D;

// more properties set here....

 

Gallery->Click += new EventHandler(this, pbox_Click);

}

}

 

void MyForm:: pbox_Click(Object *sender, EventArgs *e)

{

Gallery[2]->Size = Drawing::Size(100,100);

//other stuff

}

 

Thats the gist of it. I get an undeclared identifier "Gallery" in the debug window which occurs on the gallery[2]->Size.... line in the event handler. I thought the problem was that when i assign the event handler i'm using the this pointer instead of a pointer to gallery but i can't get it to accept Gallery[] or *Gallery[] or anything similar. I think i'm missing something obvious but the more i stare at it the more confused i get!

You have declared the array inside the InitializeComponent routine - therefore it is only visible in that routine. If it needs to be accessed from several procedures then move the

PictureBox *Gallery[];

bit to the form itself.
