Is possible to store a rect in a this.var of a class?

[fabricio234]

example

Code: Select all

Class Foo {  
   Something() {
      if (This.Rect = "") {
      VarSetCapacity(RECT, 16, 0)
      DllCall("GetClientRect", "Ptr", hWnd, "Ptr", &RECT)
      This.Rect := RECT 
      }
  }
}

Im trying to avoid calling the dllcall each time the function is called. When i try to use This.Rect in other places it looks like its empty

no. u must assign a pointer to XXXAlloc()ated memory(and dont forget to clean it up when ure done using it)

or use v2 where this is a solved issue

Perhaps, you need this:

Code: Select all

Class Foo {  
   Something() {
      if (this.Rect = "") {
         this.SetCapacity("Rect", 16)
         DllCall("GetClientRect", "Ptr", hWnd, "Ptr", this.GetAddress("Rect"))
      }
   }
}
