A Big Mess with "pan_setdigits"

When I supply a non-pointer variable to pan_setdigits ,it does not work.
So does pan_setdigits last parameter requires a pointer only??


If so,
I need a solution for tis!!

I have a struct UserProfile (Many might kno ,I had posted tis several times).
All of the elements in the stuct are non-pointers.

How do I make it work under pan_setdigits??

pan_setdigits(PANEL*, var num, var x, var y, STRING* format, FONT* font, var factor, var* pv)

Did you realize the var *pv?
It only takes a POINTER.

Lite-C usually references variables if required. If it doesn't work, just the reference operator &.

The prob is I use ActiveProfile.VARIABLE as an argument to pan_setdigits.My ActiveProfile stucture elements are all non-pointers.

If I make a all pointers I wud hav to change almost 2k lines and in edtition some pointers stuff again.

I just came up here to ask if there was any other solution??

It does not matter if they are pointers or not in the first place. The & operator will return the variables address.

I gave "&ActiveProfile.VARIABLE" as the parameter ,I get "Syntax Error"
and I also tried "ActiveProfile.&VARIABLE" ,I get "ActiveProfile is not a keyword" or something.

??

Or cud you give me an example using the address of operator??

THanks

You have to to pay attention to operator precedence!

&(ActiveProfile.VARIABLE)

digits(320,40,4,DialogSubText,1,&(ActiveProfile.BPI));

It did not work ;I get an error "Syntax Error: & Invalid Character &"

the parameters you're giving are wrong:

digits(x, y, format, font, factor, var);
pan_setdigits(PANEL*, var num, var x, var y, STRING* format, FONT* font, var factor, var* pv);

ops, sorry!! Frgt that digits can work with non-pointers
