C / C++ / MFC

I have an old Borland C++ project that displayed a 16 x 16 group of labels displaying 0x00 to 0xFF for the purpose of diagnostics.

I am now using MicroSoft Visual Studio 2010 C++

I am having a problem creating an array of labels at runtime that the labels are accessable by other routines such as a timer interval routine

<pre lang="c++">

#include <stdio.h>
 
namespace SerialTester {
 
using namespace System;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;

using namespace System::Drawing;
 
/// <summary>
/// Summary for Form1
 
int count;
int tindex;
    
 
/// </summary>
public ref class Form1 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form
{
public:
        
    Form1(void)
    {
      InitializeComponent();
      count = 0;
      tindex = 0;
      char buffer[200];

      array< Label ^ > ^ labels;
      labels = gcnew array<Label^>(256);
 
      for (int index = 0; index < 256; ++index) 
      {
         Label ^ label = gcnew Label;

         Controls->Add(label);
         labels[index] = label;
      }
    }
 
    protected:
    /// <summary>




 
private: System::Void timer1_Tick(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) 
  {
  labels[tindex++]->BackColor = ....... ; }
  }
