Hello,

Note: By error, I've sent an unfinished replay to Julien message.
Sorry for the inconveniences and send it to the trash.

My suggestion is to use an array of pointers (Like what you do):

char *buttons[] = { "Yes", "No", "Pause", "Stop", NULL};

The compiler will calculate the size of the array.

Thanks and Best Regads,
