returning a pointer to a structure.

[Darkjester]

Is there a way to return a pointer to a structure from a function? It seems the method that i thought would work always results in incorrect data type.

I was trying

Function obj(structure &struc)
Dim &pntr
Pntr = struc
Return pntr
End function

What am i missing?

do you mean allocation of pointer on struct?type TEST
 i       as integer
 f       as single
 ia(2)   as integer
 fa(3)   as single
end type

function &AllocPointer() as TEST
 dim &pNew as TEST
 alloc pNew
 return &pNew
end function


dim &thing as TEST
&thing = AllocPointer()or do you mean something like this?type TEST
 i       as integer
 f       as single
 ia(2)   as integer
 fa(3)   as single
end type

function &ReturnPointer(&from as TEST) as TEST
 return &from
end function

dim from as test
dim &this as TEST
&this = ReturnPointer(from)
