Being a novice myself, I am not 100% sure if I am doing right either, but
here is
what I usually do:
MemHandle myArrayH = NULL;
...
Err err;
i = getSizeOfObject ( myObject );
if ( myArrayH == NULL )
myArrayH = MemHandleNew ( i * NUM_ITEMS_YOU_WANT );
else
myArrayH = MemHandleResize ( i * NUM_ITEMS_YOU_WANT );
when you want to use this array, you must lock and cast it like this:
MyObjectType* myObjArray;
myObjArray = (MyObjectType*)MemHandleLock ( myArrayH );
myObjArray[i].foo = bar;
...
MemHandleUnlock ( myArrayH ) ;
I haven't compiled the code above to see if this works.. but I hope you get
the idea.
MemHandleResize will resize an allocated memory chunk. If anyone sees
something
I am doing wrong, please let me know so that I can fix in my code too =)
