changing a char[] case

I am trying to change the case of a char array to all lower case.

I have
#include "ctype.h"
...
for (i=0; i <= 15 ; i++)
	{
		buffer(i) = std::tolower (buffer(i));
	}
and keep getting "Call of non-function error" from Codewarrior when I compile.

I tried tolower with std:: and without, and it makes no difference. I checked, and ctype.h does have the header for tolower in it.

Am I missing some simple step here?

You may also want to consider using the string utilities in the ArchiCAD API - in this case 'CHtoLower' for example.
