Character Array to character pointer.

[Vagabond]

Greetings
I've been faced with this problem may be you could help?

<strong>class</strong> CalculatorObject : <strong>public</strong> TDialog 
{
	<strong>public:</strong>
		StateType CurrentMode;	
		<strong>char</strong> Operator;							

		<strong>char</strong> DisplayBuffer[DisplayPlusSign];   
		
		<strong>BOOL</strong> Negative;							
		<strong>BOOL</strong> InputIsADigit(<strong>char</strong>* input);       
		<strong>double</strong> Operand;							
		TBrush CalcBackground;	.....

I need to change char DisplayBuffer into a character pointer instead of a character array.

Many Thanx

have you tried this? I guess you already know that you will have to allocate memory for that buffer before using it -- yes??

char*  DisplayBuffer;

Yeh! thanx. I need to change the definition of DisplayBuffer to allow values to be assigned to it.

you don't have to make it a pointer as I posted, just copy whatever string you want into it.

char DisplayBuffer[255];

strcpy(DisplayBuffer,"Hello World");
