CharPtr dayStr=MemPtrNew(2); // 2 digits in day #
charPtr monthStr=MemPtrNew(2); // 2 digits in month #
charPtr yearStr=MemPtrNew(4); // 4 digits in year
// your code here...
StrIToA(dayStr, day);
StrIToA(monthStr, month);
StrIToA(yearStr, year);
whichButton = FrmCustomAlert( DisplayDateAlert, monthStr, dayStr, yearStr);
MemPtrFree(dayStr);
MemPtrFree(monthStr);
MemPtrFree(yearStr);
alternatively, you could set up arrays for the text of the month, day, &
year which you could pass directly...
