re:enum and memory space

[tsd_man]

Hi what I'd like to know is
if I have a project which incoporporates an enum with say 7 elements declared for it , ie enum weekday (sun, mon,tues..........sat).

how can I
firstly find the address of where the enum is in memory? (like an array has an address of where it starts in memory)

secondly, how can I ascertain the number of elements? (I know that UBound can be used for arrays etc , is there something similar?)

Moved from FAQ forum

[tsd_man]

FIRSTLY, I WISH TO APOLOGISE FOR POSTING IN THE WRONG FORUM !! (SORRY)

I have made an attempt to ascertain the address of enums when declared (run time). I need a method now to be able to access the memory locations of the individual elements (and contents of each) of each enum declared. ie. I want to be able to retrieve the memory locations of the 5 elements.... Please can someone help?

Declare this in module

Declare Function VarPtrAny Lib "vb60032.dll" Alias "VarPtr" (lpObject As Any) As Long
 
'Put this bit in form
 
Option Explicit
Private Ptr1 As Long
 
Private Enum WorkDays1
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
End Enum
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim lngDay1 As WorkDays1
 
Ptr1 = VarPtr(lngDay1)
Debug.Print Ptr1
End Sub
