get object's instance

[nesvarbu]

How do I get object's instance just having his name?

Using which API? What exactly are you trying to do?

Do you mean you have a class, say, named "Box" and you want to find a specific instance of "Box"?

You need a compiler that supports RTTI and then use

PHP Code:

typeid(*this).name();

I'm using borland c++ 6.
For example I have 20 checkboxes, and I have this function:

void Test(int id) // where id is the number of checkbox 
{
   //here I need to check the checkbox, for example if id is 17 then
   //the code should be CheckBox17->Checked = true;
   //the problem is that I don't know how many checkboxes are so
   //I can't use 'if' statement or 'case' statement
   //the code should be smth like: CheckBox+id->Checked = true;
   //I know its not correct but hope you get the question?
}

Put all checkboxes in a TList and run thru it.

TList checkboxes = new TList()
TCheckbox cb;
for (int i=0; i<10; ++i) {
    cb = new TCheckBox();
    checkboxes->ad(cb);
}

for (int i=0; i<10; ++i) {
    cb = (TCheckBox)checkboxes->get(i);
    cb->Checked = true;
}
