It does, but I suspect VB will refuse to compile if I try to change the
signature. This is what is so infuriating - if this were a normal DLL
interface, I could use a BYTE * and a VB Byte()... but since it's COM /
Automation I'm forced to use a subset of types and they don't seem to
support anything useful for an array of bytes. You may remember me trying an
ordinary DLL interface before and finding it slow. Hence, trying by OCX
instead {:v)
