Dynamic Arrays in User Defined Types

[lkd85]

You need to pass the address. Have the function return a pointer. Include crt.bi with your program and use MemCpy to copy the return pointer into the new array.

Code:

TYPE SomeType
     ThisField  AS LONG
     ThisOtherField AS STRING
END TYPE

'For MemCpy
'$Include: "crt.bi"

' Static array for the sake of test, but
' Question would apply to dynamic arrays
' declared like this too.
DIM ThisArray(1 to 100) AS SomeType
DIM Sorted(1 to 100)    AS SomeType

' Assuming I have a function I did called SortArray()
MemCpy @Sorted(1), SortArray(ThisArray()), 100 * Len(SomeType)
