passing an address to a function

Quick question that should be easy for the experienced. I am trying to pass a variable's adderss as a parameter of a function. How do I write that in VB code. In C++ I would just put niftyfunciton(&variable) but the & in VB is for concatination. Whats the notation for passing a reference in VB?

VB passes everything by reference by default. You can add the ByRef keyword in the declaration if you want to be explicit.

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do.

you can pass a variable ByRef to a Function by specifying it in the Declaration

Code:

---

Private Sub AddOne(ByRef Number as Long)

    Number = Number + 1

End Sub

---

will add one to what's stored in the variable passed to it.

If you want a Pointer to a Variable you can use
VarPtr(MyVar) which returns a long pointer to MyVar, I'ts pretty useless in VB Though unless you wan't to do some really wierd stuff with APIs that you could do without pointers.
