Message Is the MSB (Most significant byte) to the left or to the right? If it is to the left,
ieventclass := (eventpack[3] and $F0) shr 4; ieventflags := (eventpack[3] and $0C) shr 2; iTmpSession1 := eventpack[3] and $03; If its to the right ieventclass := (eventpack[0] and $F0) shr 4; ieventflags := (eventpack[0] and $0C) shr 2; iTmpSession1 := eventpack[0] and $03; Dennis. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeremy Coulter To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Sunday, October 27, 2002 9:47 PM Subject: [DUG]: Needs some help please Hi all. I need some help with something. I am trying to get some info out of a file that was created by someone else, and there IS some doumentation, BUT, I am not sure if I have got the below right. Here is info from the document :- 4 byte EventPack structure: xxxx0000 00000000 00000000 00000000 - event class (4 bits) 0000xx00 00000000 00000000 00000000 - event flags (2 bits) 000000xx xx000000 00000000 00000000 - event session (4 bits) 00000000 00xxxxxx 00000000 00000000 - event type (6 bits) 00000000 00000000 xxxxxxxx xx000000 - event size (10 bits) 00000000 00000000 00000000 00xxxxxx - event owner (6 bits) I have figured it out like this :- //declaration :- var eventpack : arry[0..3] of byte; //read it eventpack from a memory stream oMemStream.ReadBuffer(EventPack, sizeof(EventPack)); This is the bit I am not sure I have right :- ieventclass := eventpack[0] and $F0; ieventflags := eventpack[0] and $0C; iTmpSession1 := (eventpack[0] and $03 ) shl 2; iTmpSession2 := (eventpack[1] and $C0) shr 6; ieventsession := iTmpSession1+ iTmpSession2; ieventtype := eventpack[1] and $3F; ieventsize :=(eventpack[2] * 4)+ ((eventpack[3] and $C0) shr 6); ieventowner :=(eventpack[3] and $3F); Am I right? if not, can someone please guide me here?
