I do use bit elements in the structure that is storing the "shifted" data.
See below. As you can see I haven't made the switch yet to the new number
types in 3.5. Is that the problem? Changing to the new types is something I
plan to do but I just haven't gotten to that point yet. I thought I would
try to get my program working in CW with the least number of changes to it
first.
One other note, the Byte element is supposed to represent in my program a
number that ranges from zero to 255.
// Here is the structure that a data element gets packed into:
typedef struct
{
unsigned selected : 1;
unsigned itemtype : 1;
unsigned hidden : 1;
unsigned sublistID : 5;
Byte bListID;
UInt uiNumMaster;
UInt uiNumSel;
UInt uiTopMaster;
UInt uiTopSel;
UInt uiFirstMaster;
UInt uiFirstSel;
char cpListName[1]; // Actually will be longer than 1.
} PackedList;
// Here is the structure that a data element gets unpacked into:
typedef struct
{
unsigned selected : 1;
unsigned itemtype : 1;
unsigned hidden : 1;
unsigned sublistID : 5;
Byte bListID;
UInt uiNumMaster;
UInt uiNumSel;
UInt uiTopMaster;
UInt uiTopSel;
UInt uiFirstMaster;
UInt uiFirstSel;
CharPtr cpListName; // Name of list. Program will limit to 20
characters.
} List;

and this also makes sense.. :)) anything you do with bitwise structures
may be implemented differently internally when compiled..
