if this is how to delcare a LOCAL structure
what would the syntax be for a global structure ?
LOCAL WndClass :WNDCLASSEX
.data?
WndClass WNDCLASSEX <?>
or
.data
WndClass WNDCLASSEX <0>
or
.data
WndClass WNDCLASSEX <>
You can also preinitialize the members of WNDCLASSEX in '.data'., rather than leaving all members as zero (and initializing in the code)
example using a preinitialized RECT structure
.data
btn0 RECT <774, 404, 838, 468>
...
another whoops on my part.... :rolleyes:
meant to edit above not quote it.
Sudoku said it right.
Since you're asking about local vs. global, here's a convention I follow so I can immediately tell from looking at one of my variables whether it's global or local:
; Define a global structure (WC), partially initialized:
WC WNDCLASSEX < SIZEOF WNDCLASSEX, \
CS_HREDRAW or CS_VREDRAW or CS_BYTEALIGNWINDOW or CS_DBLCLKS, \
NULL, \ ;lpfnWndProc
NULL, \ ;cbClsExtra
NULL, \ ;cbWndExtra
NULL, \ ;hInstance
NULL, \ ;hIcon
NULL, \ ;hCursor
NULL, \ ;hbrBackground
NULL, \ ;lpszMenuName
NULL, \ ;lpszClassName
NULL > ;hIconSm
; Now define a local structure (wc) in a subroutine:
SomeProc PROC
LOCAL wc:WNDCLASSEX
I start all LOCAL vars. with lowercase letters and all globals with Uppercase letters.
Works well for me; I recommend it.
thnx 4 the help
