hi -
i did something similar, but i used:
char szMes[25]; //need szMes to be a string, not a char. in this case an
array of chars.
//25 is just my guess for how big it can get
// later on...
switch(ID)
{
case 1:
sprintf(szHint,"One");
break;
case 2:
sprintf(szHint,"Two");
break;
}
or whatever. i used strcpy and strcat, but i was adding things to the
string based on certain flags. the main idea is you need char szMes[25],
which allocates a chunk for you, and not just one char.
hope this helps. if not, then i'm out of ideas.
