Found Api's Causing Heap Corruption

[ForNow]

These lines in My DrawItem Api are causing the heap corruption

if(arrayptr[pdi->itemID] == NULL)
arrayptr[pdi->itemID] = new char(9);
memset(arrayptr[pdi->itemID], 0x00, 9);
memcpy(arrayptr[pdi->itemID], lpszText, 8);

Don't understand it as I allocated everything on the Heap

Quote:

arrayptr[pdi->itemID] = new char(9);

Should be

arrayptr[pdi->itemID] = new char[9];

You are welcome. Did you really need to use raw (C-like) arrays and new?

I am MainFrame programmer by trade wasn't sure how to copy the first 8 characters of the 45 character strings Thanks
