How can I declare pointer to pointer in ATL. Actually I have a handle which I want to pass by address to function. As shown below
STDMETHODIMP Function(HANDLE* hHC) //HANDLE declared as void * so actual type is void **
OR
STDMETHODIMP Function(LONG **hHC)
And want to access this function from the VB client.
I keep getting a null reference exception w/this program, and its on the line that declares the array. I've looked it over and over and I just don't see why... Can you let me know if you see anything obvious? I'm also getting an "index out of range" exception, but it looks right to me...I declared everything with an 11 for 12 months, 0 to 11 for the intcount.

Private _PurchaseDelivery as PurchaseDelivery

[Code]....
Which is inside a class which overrides a custom list base. The code is occassionaly throwing an unhandled exception, System.NullReferenceException, on this line when used in production:
If _PurchaseDelivery IsNot Nothing AndAlso _PurchaseDelivery.DefaultSKUBinID.HasValue Then
DeafultSKUBinID is declared as an Integer? (Nullable Int) in the PurchaseDelivery class. I cannot see what might be causing this error, why would this be returning an error?

When I put a break point to the last if clause in the sub ("If (backOrder < 0) Then", see below) it runs until the break point, if I put the break point further below, I get the following error:
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'OrderID', table 'WHM.dbo.OrderDetails'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.
I've discovered first hand that it only happens when prodqty is bigger then qtyOnStock, thus executing the if clause.

I understand there are no pointers in VB.Net. I need to use something similar.The issue is that I have a structure that represent a deck of cards, with elements showing how many of each type of card there is. So I have my_deck.ace, my_deck.two, and so on.What I want to do is set a pointer called current_element that refers to any element in the structure. It may one time point to my_deck.three, and another time to my_deck.nine, and so on. It could point to any element.What I want to do is, for instance to set current_element to point to my_deck.ace, then decrementing current_element would reduce the count of aces by one.[code]that would work, but it's inelegant, I have about 30 different operations to perform, some of them using several lines of code. I'd like to avoid this if at all possible. I could tolerate doing it 2 or 3 times, but not 30.

View 7 RepliesI've got a 3rd party C application that's compiled to a non-.NET non-COM DLL. It has one simple function declared like so: Declare Function CapiTaxRoutine Lib "taxcommono.dll" (ByVal sInData As String, ByVal OutputData As String, ByVal intINPutLength As Long) As Integer
If I place the taxcommono.dll in my path (C:WindowsSystem32 is what I'm using because it's what the vendor recommends),I can wire up a call to the function and it works just fine.It returns a 1 or 0 for success/failure, but it also sets the value of the OutputData string parameter (using some C pointer magic I'm not familiar with) to a huge fixed width format return record that has the data I need.When I call it from a .NET .exe application, it works just fine.When I try to call it from an ASP.NET application via a referenced compiled .NET wrapper DLL, it runs but can't set that string.In order to get it to run, I can't have taxcommono.dll in my path, but rather have to place it in my Bin directory of the web project.Does anyone know of a reason it can set the pointer when called from an .exe application but not when called from a web app?The .NET wrapper DLL I'm using works when called from our ERP software, which is not web based. But when I add a reference to that same DLL in the web app, it won't give me that output value.am used to just getting a return value instead of a function setting the value of one of my input parameters.

View 7 RepliesI have a form that has 100 text boxes with 100 coinciding labels. I want them hidden until another function populates the text boxes with data gathered elsewhere. The data could be between 1 and 100.
I would like one loop where I can assign the data to the correct text box, set it visible and set the label visible. I can not figure out how to do this in VB, or know if it is even possible.
Here is an example of what I would like to do
Dim i As Long = 1
Dim textbox As String = "textbox"
[code]....
I would also like to do this to hide all the items on the form in the on load event.

I'm trying to rewrite a C++ library. But I have an issue. I'm not extremely pointer-savvy. In the C++ class there is a std::vector that holds unsigned int pointers (vector<unsigned int*>), and the int pointer just points to an array of integer data.
Here is the C++ code I'm a bit unsure about:
unsigned int* relocation = m_relocations.front();
m_relocations.pop();
unsigned int* reloc = *(unsigned int **)relocation;
I am trying to use VirtualQueryEx to read the memory of a process (first instance of notepad in this case). This function returns a pointer to the MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION structure.

This small snippet of code is to increment a count value (integer) which is stored in a dictionary using my referenced object as a key. When the dictionary is small, multiple lookups aren't a big deal but this particular dictionary can get quite large.
Private RefCount As IDictionary(Of ILifeTimeManaged, Integer)
......... CODE HERE.....
Private Sub IncrementRefCount(ByVal entity As ILifeTimeManaged)
Dim prevCount As Integer
''# if we have no reference entry, add one and set its count to 1
[Code] .....
I find a corresponding dictionary entry then increment the int stored in the value, or add a new dictionary entry. Is it a bad idea to use a pointer to the dictionary value? Then I can avoid the second key lookup when I already have gotten the value. How would you implement it? Is this even possible in .NET4? Can I do it using IntPtr do you think? [URL]
RefCount.Item(entity) = prevCount + 1
I have been looking into delegates today, have come across them a few times but haven't understood them. I started thinking today that a Delegate is like a Pointer (for those who don't know a pointer is a reference to a location used in C++ and other languages than VB) So how much of a pointer is a delegate? what can a delegate do that a pointer/pointers cant?
Similarly does anyone else agree with me that all .NET languages should be able to do the same things, why cant i use pointers or logical shift operators in VB.NET? Would you guys think that being able to use code from any .net language within your code would be advantageous?
I'm calling an API that returns a string pointer but I can't find anyway to return the string it points to.

I want to know which mouse pointer is selected anywhere in windows (so also outside my application).
I've looked into Cursor.Current but I can't figure it out. Perhaps someone here can tell me how it's done?
I am attempting to hide the mouse pointer when there has been a few seconds of inactivity and then re-show the pointer again when the user moves the mouse. I have been able to get the mouse pointer to hide and re-show as I require it, however when I execute grid.Children.Clear() and grid.Children.Add() the mouse pointer re-appears (but again hides after a few seconds of inactivity).
My code is as below:
Private Sub Window1_MouseMoved(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseMove
