Create and array of Bitmaps using GDI+

Sorry if this is the wrong area, but I'm not sure where to post this.

I've figured out how to create images (bitmaps) with GDI+, and am very happy 
with the results.  I just need to be able to create an array of said bitmaps 
so I can reference them by an index instead of having to type an entire 
variable name.

An example of the kind of code I'm using now is:

	HDC hdc = GetDC(hWnd);
	Gdiplus::Graphics graphics(hdc);

	Gdiplus::Bitmap bitmap1(L"1.png");
	Gdiplus::Bitmap bitmap2(L"2.png");
	Gdiplus::Bitmap bitmap3(L"3.png");
	Gdiplus::Bitmap bitmap4(L"4.png");
	Gdiplus::Bitmap bitmap5(L"5.png");
	Gdiplus::Bitmap bitmap6(L"6.png");
	Gdiplus::Bitmap bitmap7(L"7.png");
	Gdiplus::Bitmap bitmap8(L"8.png");

	ReleaseDC(hWnd, hdc);

and what I want is something along the lines of:

	HDC hdc = GetDC(hWnd);
	Gdiplus::Graphics graphics(hdc);

	Gdiplus::Bitmap bitmap[8];

	bitmap[0] = (L"1.png");
	bitmap[1] = (L"2.png");
	bitmap[2] = (L"3.png");
	bitmap[3] = (L"4.png");
	bitmap[4] = (L"5.png");
	bitmap[5] = (L"6.png");
	bitmap[6] = (L"7.png");
	bitmap[7] = (L"8.png");

	ReleaseDC(hWnd, hdc);

I know that isn't the right syntax.  That's what I need help with.

I'm assuming there is a way to do this.  Does anyone know how?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you could give me.

You want and array of pointers, and to call new to allocate the bitmaps and 
call their constructor:

Gdiplus::Bitmap * bitmap[8];
bitmap[0] = new Gdiplus::Bitmap(L"1.png");
bitmap[1] = new Gdiplus::Bitmap(L"2.png");


some time later, you will want to call:

delete bitmap[0];
delete bitmap[1];
....
