hello I am starting to learn how to import functions using Win32::API the following function outputs a pointer to a structure and I understand how to use perls pack to "build" the required structure.
WINSETUPAPI BOOL WINAPI SetupDiEnumDeviceInfo( IN HDEVINFO DeviceInfoSet, IN DWORD MemberIndex, OUT PSP_DEVINFO_DATA DeviceInfoData ); typedef struct _SP_DEVINFO_DATA { DWORD cbSize; GUID ClassGuid; DWORD DevInst; ULONG_PTR Reserved; } SP_DEVINFO_DATA, *PSP_DEVINFO_DATA; SP_DEVINFO_DATA is represented as $devdata = pack ( 'LL4LL', 28, 0, 0, 0 ); then setupdienumdeviceinfo can be called as SetupDiEnumDeviceInfo( $devicedev, $index, $devdata ); my question is this; what if the structure is unknown? how can I prepare a packed scalar of unknown size or of variable size? BOOLEAN HidD_GetPreparsedData( IN HANDLE HidDeviceObject, OUT PHIDP_PREPARSED_DATA *PreparsedData ); looking at MSDN online we get the following "The internal structure of a _HIDP_PREPARSED_DATA structure is reserved for internal system use" _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
