fixed array in a structure

[sleepy tim]

Thanks, but thats no use. Thats a dynamic array where I need a static fixed array.. the problem is thus:

Structure MyStruct
   Public MyArray() As Integer
   Public MyInt As Integer
End Structure
 
Sub UseStruct()
   Dim Struct As MyStruct
   ReDim Struct.MyArray(9) ' Dimension as 10 elements
   Struct.MyArray(2) = 777 ' Use the array.
End Sub

would in fact produce something like the following behind the sceens:
Pointer MyArray (this uses up 4 bytes of data)
Integer MyInt (this uses up 4 bytes of data)

Somewhere else in memory a block of 10 bytes of memory is allocated and the variable MyArray references it


In contrast

Type MyStruct
   MyArray(9) As Integer
   MyInt As Integer
End Type

would produce something like the following behind the sceens:
Integer *10 MyArray (this uses up 4*10 bytes of data = 40)
Integer MyInt (this uses up 4 bytes of data)

So as you can see there is a big difference in terms of where the data is stored in memory, and the DLL im interfacing with will only accept the data in the format produced by the Type definition.

Thanks for any more help on this
