Using CArray. CArray is a collection that is best used for data that is to be accessed in a random or non sequensial manner. The array can dynamically shrink and grow as necessary. Array indexes always start at position 0. You can decide whether to fix the upper bound or allow the array to expand when you add elements past the current bound.

Here is a list of CArray class methods. Adds an element to the end of the array; grows the array if necessary. Copies another array to the array; grows the array if necessary. Returns a temporary reference to the element pointer within the array. Frees all unused memory above the current upper bound.

If you need a dump of individual elements in an array, you must set the depth of the CDumpContext object to 1 or larger. Certain member functions of this class call global helper functions that must be customized for most uses of the CArray class. See the topic Collection Class Helpers in the MFC Macros and Globals section.

To support this tradition, the CArray class is equipped with the Add () member function. Its syntax is: This member function expects as argument the value that would be added. The CArray::Add () member function is mostly meant to add an item at the end of the list. If the list doesn't yet contain any value, then Add () would create its first item.
