Hi,

Ok big problem for me need some help on this. I'm converting my Visual Basic Custom API Drawing Procedures to PureBasic for all.

Problem:

Procedure A()

B(BackColor.l)

EndProcedure

Procedure B(Color.l)

heres the problem, i need to access 2 Structure here in B

VB Code:

Dim Brush As LOGBRUSH (Structure)
Dim lpRect As RECT (Structure)

EndProcedure

How do I get access to these 2 Structures?

I know that i can pass a pointer to the structures.
*lpRect.RECT and *Brush.LOGBRUSH

But i only need to use them in Procedure B not A.

Procedure A calls Procedure B.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thank you.

When i get this all converted and running, it will allow you to write your own controls say like a database grid what ever you can think up.

And Danilo i did download your ToolBar Pro nice job.

It's just NewList Player.Aplayer().

Linked Lists and Arrays are always Global, no matter, where you define them.
