[RESOLVED] Question about C structure

[bmahler]

Ok, to start... I am very unfamiliar with c and c++. I have a simple app written in C and I am trying to convert it to vb.net. I am just wondering about a structure that is in the file. this is the structure.

struct Packet {
	int size;
	int (*realFunc)(void *, void *, void *, unsigned char *, int, void *);
	unsigned int repeat;
	unsigned char buf[2048];
};

I can convert it for the most part, but that function (if that is what it is) confuses me.

This is what I have so far

    Private Structure Packet
        Dim size As Integer

        Public Function realFunc(ByVal val1 As Object, ByVal val2 As Object, _
            ByVal val3 As Object, ByVal SomeByte As Byte, ByVal Size As Integer, _
            ByVal val4 As Object) As Integer

            'I defined them as just objects for lack 
            'of an understanding of what they are
        End Function

        Dim Repeat As UInt32
        Dim buf() As Byte
    End Structure

What I am wondering about is the realFunc variable. Is this a function within a structure? also what does void * mean. I was under the assumption tha void was similar to declaring a sub in vb so, this really confuses me. Thanks to anyone that can help
