C++ - Who owns the memory for the StringArray used in BaseChart.setMonthNames?
Posted by Doug Schmidt on Nov-08-2012 00:59	\| Reply \| Monitor
Using C++ here. Does the void BaseChart.setMonthNames( StringArray newMonthNames ) method copy the string data out of the StringArray parameter before the call returns, or does my program need to keep the data pointers alive until the chart is destructed? The documentation makes no claims either way, and I don't want to be leaking memory or freeing pointers prematurely.

Hi Doug, ChartDirector will make a copy of the names before the call returns. You can free the memory for the text strings immediately after this method returns. Hope this can help. Regards Peter Kwan
