Attempting to convert from C

[ignign0kt]

I'm messing around with converting some C to PB for the learning experience. But having trouble with something.

Code: Select all

p = (PKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT) (lParam)

p is a structure of type PKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT already. From what I understand it is typecasting lParam to type PKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT and assigning the values to p. How would this be done in PB?

I think this:

Code: Select all

*p.PKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT = lParam

[ignign0kt]

I don't think that's the same thing

Looks to be the same thing to me; at least in the sense that it is the PB way of doing it.

I guess I don't really understand what that line is doing lol

It seems like it is typecasting the pointer "lparam" as a "PKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT" structure and assigning it to the variable "p".

The PB version assigns the pointer value "lparam" to the structured pointer "*p.PKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT" .

[ts-soft]

Sets the Adress in lParam to a structured pointer
here pseudocode, i have no information over the structure:

Code: Select all

*p.PKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT = lParam
*p\member1 = 100
a = *p\member2

Ok I think I have it figure out now.. thanks

If p is really a structure (and not a pointer to a structure), then you can't do it like that in PB. You have to assign the individual structure members.
If p is a pointer to a structure, you just use declare *p.PKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT and then use *p = lParam.
