I am attempting to create a dynamic array of TBitmap in C++ Builder 4. I now how to create a single bitmap: Graphics::TBitmap *Bitmap = new Graphics::TBitmap(); and an array of bitmaps: Graphics::TBitmap *Bitmap[2]; Bitmap[0] = new Graphics::TBitmap(); Bitmap[1] = new Graphics::TBitmap(); But I can not for the life of me figure out how to create a dynamic array of bitmaps at run time. If anyone has the answer to this, I would greatly appreciate it.

I thank you for your assistance, but none of those three ideas help. I will include some of my code and then maybe my question will be better understood:

class Bitmaps
{
protected:
int MaxBitmaps;
public:
Bitmaps() {TotalBitmaps = 0; MaxBitmaps = 999; }
~Bitmaps() { if (Bitmap) delete [] Bitmap; }

int TotalBitmaps;
AnsiString BitmapDir, BaseFileName;

// a static array of 999 Bitmap pointers: needs to be dynamic
Graphics::TBitmap *Bitmap[999];

int Init(int totalBitmaps)
{
TotalBitmaps = totalBitmaps;
if (TotalBitmaps > MaxBitmaps)
{
TotalBitmaps = MaxBitmaps;
int error = 1; return error;
}
for (int i = 0; i < TotalBitmaps; i++)
Bitmap = new Graphics::TBitmap();
return 0;
}
void Destroy() {if (Bitmap) delete [] Bitmap; }
int GetMaxBitmaps() {return MaxBitmaps; }
int LoadTextures(AnsiString bitmapDir, AnsiString baseFileName);
int RotateAllBitmaps180();
int RotateBitmap180(int bitmapIndex);
};

The above code creates a Bitmaps class with a static array of 999 bitmap pointers. Only the Bitmap pointers up to the TotalBitmaps get initialized when the Init(totalBitmaps) function is called. This works great, unless a larger number than 999 Bitmaps want to be loaded. I am trying to modify this so that the static array of 999 pointers becomes dynamic. When the Init(totalBitmaps) is called, the total number of Bitmap pointers gets set to the TotalBitmaps. I hope this makes sense. Any help is appreciated.
