Question

I was wondering if its possible to create variable names which are linked to my class in a loop using the stringstream?

For example i have this:

for(int i=1; i<6; i++){
   std::stringstream button;
   button << "Button" << i;
   CreateButton button();

   button.function_name();
}

When i tried it I could not access the function for that class.

The function is not available… so I’m wondering if I am just overwriting the string stream. If i am is there a way to do what I am trying to do?

Answer 1

You want an array or vector of buttons.

#include <vector> //must include this

std::vector<CreateButton> buttons(6);

for(int i= 0; i<6; i++)
{
   button[i].function_name();
}

Here you can think of button[0] as one variable, and button[1] as another variable, button[2] as yet another variable, and so on. In this way, you have six variables.
