c++ - shared_ptr or unique_ptr to CustomDialogEx -

hell all,

i creating tab-controls on fly. purpose, doing

customdialogex *tabpages[total_modules]; 

and in constructor doing

cmoduletabctrl::cmoduletabctrl() {         tabpages[0] = new cpodule;     tabpages[1] = new csbmodule;     tabpages[2] = new cptmodule;     tabpages[3] = new cqsmodule; } 

and in init() method, doing

void cmoduletabctrl::init() {     // add dialog pages tabpages array.     tabpages[0]->create(idd_dlg_p, this);     tabpages[1]->create(idd_dlg_sb, this);     tabpages[2]->create(idd_dlg_pt, this);     tabpages[3]->create(idd_dlg_qs, this); } 

when tried use smart pointers this

std::unique_ptr<customdialogex[total_modules]>tabpages; 

it giving error @ place calling base class member functions. example:

tabpages[0]->create(idd_dlg_p, this); 

it gives following error...

left of '->create' must point class/struct/union/generic type 

how implement using smart pointers?

thanks.

you're creating pointer array of base-class objects, isn't want. want array of pointers, in first example:

std::unique_ptr<customdialogex> tabpages[total_modules]; tabpages[0].reset(new cpodule);        // create first object tabpages[0]->create(idd_dlg_p, this);  // weird second-stage initialisation
