Hi,

I'm sure it has been asked thousand times. But I can't find a tutorial how to do it. Sorry.
I have a DLLCall that expects an struct:

I found one tutorial: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic35843.html
But I'm not so sure I understood.

Here is what i THINK the code is supposed to be...

Since in the struct are two pointers for strings and one is an integer, the capacity should be 12 (3*4)

[[VxE]]

Do the pointers returned in that struct point to memory locations inside your script's memory space or elsewhere?

I'm guessing that those strings are in some other process an you'll need ReadProcessMemory to get them.

Could be. I'm not sure.
The DLL is loaded with the AHL script.
How could I test this?

Moin,

wenn es ANSI ist, probier mal sowas / if it is ANSI, you might try something like this:

Thanks a lot,
That solved it.

Is there a shorter way to do it?
It seems to be quite complicated.
First to create a Var with a capacity of the string length the pointer is pointing at.
Then copying the string the pointer is pointing at into the var.

If not, I can live with it.

You could always create a function to retrieve the string. Here's a trick:

Thanks a lot Lexikos. DllCall are not my cup of tea....

Thanks, but no source makes it less-than-useful. Anything else?...with source?
