size_t is a memory size type and requires a pointer; it has the same integer size as a void *.

Because .c changes it's size depending on the compile mode (making it dynamic)
Ah! :idea: :idea: :idea: Thank you very much. That's what I was missing. The word 'dynamic' is being misapplied :shock:

At run time, the .c type is neither growable nor mutable therefore by definition it is static ...

Here's my cheat sheet :wink:
Thanks, but that's pretty much what's in the help text. Unfortunately it doesn't help me understand the difference between .a and .c, or what I quoted above actually means. Unless I'm missing something.

Death, towards the end of September.

I could have done with that beer yesterday!
It was icy cold, bubbly and exceedingly soothing. You would have loved it.
I just noticed Fred has implemented threadsafe GUI Set functions eg SetGadgetText
So you can set gadget states on the main thread from a client thread
That works perfectly ...

Then shut up and stop posting in the Form Designer forum,
