Aha! Well, that being the case, I don't need to mess with storing a pointer,
I'll just store the data itself - it's just a Boolean:
FrmSetGadgetData(pForm, nGadgetIndex, &boolValue);
Then, when I want to get the value, since FrmGetGadgetData( ) returns a
pointer, I still have to do this:
Boolean *pBoolVal = FrmGetGadgetData(pForm, nGadgetIndex);
if (*pBoolVal == true) {
//do something
}
Is that enough? Or do I have to first use MemPtrNew( ) to allocate memory
for pBooVal, and when I'm done, use MemPtrFree to free it up? Like so:
Boolean *pBoolVal = MemPtrNew(sizeof(Boolean));
pBoolVal = FrmGetGadgetData(pForm, nGadgetIndex);
if (*pBoolVal == true) {
// do something
}
MemPtrFree(pBoolVal);
Sorry to beat this to death, but this is a good example of the kinds of
thing I spend SO much time on, and I don't feel like I'm really *getting it*
- just muddling my way through. Thanks so much for all help given so far,
and for this, too.
