I like this idea. How I can generate this number?
I leave this for you, as homework; it is simply an algorithm, nothing specific to OO API nor C++, you could even find the algorithm using python. What I'm not sure is how generic this can be: will a RTL language use the "Color N" pattern, or "N Color"? And some locales may not use the Western-Arabic numerals used with the Latin script, wikipedia shows http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Arabic_numerals and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_numerals Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
