If I use VarPtr to get and store the pointer for a variable of a user defined type, and make sure that neither variable is destroyed, will the pointer I get always point to that variable even if I alter it?
i.e.
Assuming I've declared CopyMemory correctly if I call SetPointer once and only once at the begining of my program will GetValue always return a copy of apiPoint, no matter how many times I pass apiPoint into GetCursorPos, or go apiPoint.x=lngWhatever?Code:
Dim apiPoint As POINTAPI
Dim hPointerToapiPoint As Long
Private Sub SetPointer()
hPointerToapiPoint = VarPtr(apiPoint)
End Sub
Private Function GetValue() As POINTAPI
Dim apiTemp As POINTAPI
CopyMemory apiTemp,ByVal hPointerToapiPoint, LenB(apiTemp)
GetValue=apiTemp
End Function
Please don't ask why I might possibly want to do things this way, I'm trying to do some really wierd **** and I have to do it like this.
Any Clues
