Windows API: Calling procedures by reference or address 2003-12-01 -- Jim Kane Newsgroups: softvelocity.clarion.language
The way I do it is like this:
Map
MethodIWantToClassStatic procedure(long lpMyClass,Long Parameter1),pascal
someprocedure(long lpStatic, long lpClass)
End
Class MyClassType, Type
init procedure()
kill procedure()
MethodIWantToCall(long parameter1)
end
MyClass MyClasstype
code
someprocedure(address(MethodIwanttoClassStatic), address(myClass))
someprocedure procedure(long lpStatic, long lpMyClass)
code
calldllcl.init('',1)
calldllcl.callbyaddress(lpStatic, lpMyClass, valueof parameter1)
calldllcl.kill()
MethodIWantToCallStatic procedure (long lpMyClass, long parameter1) !,pascal
loc:myclass &MyClassType
code
loc:MyClass&=(lpMyClass)
loc:myClass.MethodIwanttocall(long parameter1)
return
I use my calldllcl from clarion mag and use lpMethodIWantToCall to call
MethodIWantToCallStatic from anywhere and it either does something directly
or calls the class method for me. There may be some easier way but this has
been highly reliable and most of the time I dont really use the static
procedure to call the class method but instead just do the work in the
static procedure.
