<concept id="GUID-0AF14EE0-D4FD-53EA-B7E5-10724E3FA0DF" xml:lang="en"><title>How

to resize an array</title><shortdesc>For fixed flat and fixed segmented arrays, it is possible to resize

the array. If the array is shortened, then the trailing elements are deleted.

If the array is extended, then new blank elements are created using the default

constructor.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>In a <codeph>CArrayFixFlat&lt;class T&gt;</codeph> or a <codeph>CArrayFixSeg&lt;class T&gt;</codeph> array,

the number of elements in an array can be changed, either decreased or increased,

using the <codeph>ResizeL()</codeph> function.</p>

<p>In the following code fragment, <codeph>ResizeL()</codeph> changes the

size of an array so that it contains only one element. If the array originally

had more than one element, then this call to <codeph>ResizeL()</codeph> deletes

all elements from position one onwards, leaving only the element at position

zero.</p>

<codeblock id="GUID-EB765A8F-D630-50A1-8CF4-707DFAAC5862" xml:space="preserve">CArrayFixFlat&lt;TElement&gt;* fixflat;

fixflat = new (ELeave) CArrayFixFlat<TElement>(3);

...

fixflat-&gt;ResizeL(1);</codeblock>

<p>Call <codeph>ResizeL()</codeph> again to change the size of the array to

contain a greater number of elements, in this case three. If the array originally

had only one element (for example), this call to <codeph>ResizeL()</codeph> constructs

two new elements at positions one and two. In this example, the new elements

inserted at positions one and two are <codeph>TElement</codeph> type objects,

constructed using the <codeph>TElement</codeph>  <i>default constructor</i>.

It is therefore essential that a default constructor exists before using this

function.</p>

<codeblock id="GUID-BCE6F87D-D2EB-5A38-8CAF-675DBFE9E6B6" xml:space="preserve">fixflat-&gt;ResizeL(3);</codeblock>

<p>There is an overloaded variant of <codeph>ResizeL()</codeph> which takes

a reference to a <codeph>TElement</codeph> object. A bit-wise copy of this

referenced object supplies the new elements. In the following code fragment

the two extra elements are bit-wise copies of the <codeph>theElement</codeph> object.</p>

<codeblock id="GUID-EA125434-F6B2-598B-8143-55BE1F2D2996" xml:space="preserve">_LIT(KTextXXX,"XXX");

theElement.iData = KTextXXX;

fixflat-&gt;ResizeL(5,theElement);</codeblock>
