<concept id="GUID-0EECEF02-EC6A-53D5-8B27-C0732DA0160A" xml:lang="en"><title>How to
replace a C++ array with a wrapper</title><shortdesc>This document shows briefly how to replace a C++ array with a Symbian
platform object.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>C++ arrays can always be replaced with a <codeph>TFixedArray&lt;class T,TInt
S&gt;</codeph>. For example:</p>
<codeblock id="GUID-5DFFA9D5-C18B-5BF9-B3A4-77B7ABB4CD1B" xml:space="preserve">TChar iSeparators[EMaxSeparators];
CCoeControl* iControls[ENumControls];</codeblock>
<p>becomes:</p>
<codeblock id="GUID-388DFDE7-4E2F-5E69-8F12-48A337B1A206" xml:space="preserve">TFixedArray&lt;TChar,EMaxSeparators&gt; iSeparators;
TFixedArray&lt;CCoeControl*,ENumControls&gt; iControls;</codeblock>
<p>The contained class <i>must</i> have a default constructor. The array can
also be initialised from a C++ array (using a bitwise copy).</p>
