How to save the points in a rectangle to variables?

Create class member variables for your points...

I not any good at Mfc, so I dont understand all. Sorry for that.

But do you have an example who I can use?

Should I save the rectangles in OnPaint()?

+ I think the best place to save rectangles would be in the OnLButtonUp right before Invalidate().

You can use CArray(I think it's easier than CList)... So:

*declare a class member variable(preferably in your Doc class, but you can do it in your View class also-it's easier to access the array)
CArray<CRect, CRect> array;
*now you have to add your rengtangles, like I said before in OnLButtonUp:

array.Add(CRect(leftup, leftdown));
*in OnPaint (or OnDraw) you simply draw the rectangles with a for loop:

int length = array.GetSize(); //get the size of the array
for(int i=0;i<length;i++)
dc.Rectangle(array.GetAt(i));

I get errors:

h:\studier\brukergrensesnitt\obligatorisk\MFCOppgaveView.h(21): error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'array'

Why?

I try to declare the array...in the view.h

You must include this header file:
#include <afxtempl.h>

*NOTE: you should do this in StdAfx.h, right after other includes.

Since the [ ] operator is defined, you can access elements in the "original" mode (array[7], which will be a CRect object) or you can use GetAt(), like I already posted before.

I don't really understand what you mean by "How can I write the points to the screen?" ...

Oh, I see.

You have to convert point coordonates to strings.
For example this will write on the view the upper-left points' coordonates of the first rectangle:

CString sztr;
sztr.Format("(%d,%d)", array.GetAt(0).left, array.GetAt(0).top);
dc.TextOut(0, 0, sztr);

I need help.
I've start to learn how to write c++ on Borlandc++5.02.
now I want to arrange variables into a pyramid shape.
I really don't have any clue about it at all.
Thank you you guys in advance.

What it is exactly what you don't know?
C syntax or the algorithm?

Set variable from 1-9 if the variables is not 1-9 keep doing it, if it's right make it comeout like this :
if the variable is 3 1
121
12321

if the variable is 9

1
121
12321
1234321
123454321
12345654321
1234567654321
123456787654321
12345678987654321

this is my code it's c++ anyway

thank you again :)

# include<stdio.h>
# include<conio.h>

void main()
{
int i,j,k,l;

do
{
printf("please input number between 1 and 9\n");
scanf("%d",&i);
}
while ( (i < 1) || (i > 9) );

printf("\n");
for (j=1;j<=i;j++)
{
printf("%d\n",j);
for (l=i-j;l>0;l--)
{
printf(" ");
for (k=1;k<=i;k++)
{
printf("%d",k);
}
}
}
getch();
}
