DLLStructSetData( <dllstruct>, <element>, <index> )

Contents

Description

Set the data of an element of the struct

Parameters

dllstruct

The struct returned by DLLStructCreate.

element

Which element of the struct you want to access by its element name as defined in DllStructCreate.

value

Optional; If the element is an array, you need to specify which index to set, otherwise it sets index 0. The first element is 0.

index

Optional; If the element is an array, you need to specify which index to return, otherwise it returns index 1. The first element is 1.

Return Value

None.

Remarks

Used in DLLCall.

When the element is char[n] the data can be a string otherwise it has to be a number.

When the element is byte[n] OR ubyte[n] and index is omitted the byte array can be set using a Binary Variable example :

// Create a struct with a byte array of 20 in size
$Struct = DLLStructCreate("byte a[20]");
 
// Create a binary variable containing "Hello World!"
$binaryVar = BinaryFromStr("Hello World!");
 
// Set the binary variables data to the dll structs variable
// This will populate its array
DLLStructSetData($Struct, "a", $binaryVar);
 
// Get the whole byte array and store it as Binary data
$Binary = DLLStructGetData($Struct, "a");
 
// Loop through and see what we got
Foreach ($Binary as $i)
{
	if(!$i) break; // Break on zero terminator
	println( "Byte: " . $i . " | Hex: " . Hex($i) . " | Char: " . Chr($i) );
}

Example

/*=========================================================
   Create the struct
   struct {
       int             var1;
       unsigned char   var2;
       unsigned int    var3;
       char            var4[128];
   }
=========================================================*/
 
$str		= "int var1;ubyte var2;uint var3;char var4[128]";
$a			= DllStructCreate($str);
if ( !$a )
{
	MsgBox("Error in DllStructCreate");
	exit();
}
 
/*=========================================================
	Set data in the struct
	struct.var1	= -1;
	struct.var2	= 255;
	struct.var3	= 777;
	strcpy(struct.var4,"Hello");
	struct.var4[0]	= 'h';
=========================================================*/
DllStructSetData($a,"var1",-1);
DllStructSetData($a,"var2",255);
DllStructSetData($a,"var3",777);
DllStructSetData($a,"var4","Hello");
DllStructSetData($a,"var4","G",0);
 
/*=========================================================
	Display info in the struct
;=========================================================*/
MsgBox("Struct Size: " . DllStructGetSize($a) . @CRLF .
		"Struct pointer: " . DllStructGetPtr($a) . @CRLF .
		"Data:" . @CRLF .
		DllStructGetData($a,"var1") . @CRLF .
		DllStructGetData($a,"var2") . @CRLF .
		DllStructGetData($a,"var3") . @CRLF .
		DllStructGetData($a,"var4"),
		"DllStruct");
