Couple of n00b questions

[x79]

First, I started with the win32 gui wizard so I have a modal dialog resource with a bunch of checkboxes. Can I use/convert them as an array of checkboxes? I hope to use something like this

Code Select Expand

arrOptions[intIndex] = IsDlgButtonChecked(hwnd, ckFlags[intIndex]);

Second, I don't know how to describe what I believe to be a common scenario. I am including zopfli in my project. Can't I put the zopfli project folder in my project folder and have the lib built automagically when I build my project?

Well, why would you have to build a library over and over again in a project?

You should properly created a library for this first, then just add the resulting .lib file path to the linker options for your project...

Thank you both. For my first Q, I realized it would be just as easy to renumber my resources to the same order as the corresponding options and use two int variables in my loop

Code Select Expand

uint iOptions = 0;
int x = 1;
int y = 4001;
while (x <= 9) {
    if (IsDlgButtonChecked(hwnd, y))
        iOptions &= x;
    x++;
    y *= 2;
}

@Bitbeisser: I don't know if building the lib is the best or standard way to do this. I have seen something like this in other projects but I don't know if it was built as a lib or if the imported project was added to the primary project somehow.
