- Hmmm! I couple suggestions...
-
- #1 Use the predefined container (aka collection) classes provided with
- Borland, Microsoft and other compilers. For Borland you might want to use
- TSArrayAsVector and for Microsoft the alternative would be CObList or
- CObArray. I know the TSArrayAsVector automatically sorts according to the <=
- operator, but I don't know off hand how to sort using MFC collections (i.e.
- never done it in MFC).
-
- #2 If you don't have a predefined container class, then look at the
- design of the Borland and Microsoft container classes and mimic them in your
- environment.
