erasing an element from a static vector.

[steph5]

Hi I have declared static vectors in a function that i call multiple times: static map<HWND, myVector<CString>> myMap; On some of the function calls i want to remove elements from a vector: myMap[hWindow].erase(iterator) where iterator pointers to the element in the array I want to remove. when I call myMap[hWindow].size() after erasing this element the size is the same as before?? Is this a consequences of using static vectors. Or am I doing something wrong????? More likely option 2 :laugh: but wanted to check with some one who knows more about this stuff. Many thanks

I don't think so.

I think so. I tried this:

HWND hWindow = (HWND)1234;
static std::map <HWND, vector <CString>> myMap;
typedef pair <HWND, vector <CString>> myPair;
vector <CString> myVector;
myVector.push\_back(\_T("string 1"));
myVector.push\_back(\_T("string 2"));
myVector.push\_back(\_T("string 3"));
myMap.insert(myPair(hWindow, myVector));
vector <CString>::size\_type sizeBefore = myMap\[hWindow\].size();
vector <CString>::iterator iterator;
iterator = myMap\[hWindow\].begin();
myMap\[hWindow\].erase(iterator);
vector <CString>::size\_type sizeAfter = myMap\[hWindow\].size();

sizeBefore is 3, sizeAfter is 2.
