The following code compiled fine using the 3.1 SDK.
Handle hErrorStringsRsrc;
Handle hErrorStringsRsrcArray;
Handle pErrorStringRsrcArray;
int len;
hErrorStringsRsrc = (char**)DmGetResource('tSTL', ErrorCodesStringList); //
get the resource
StrListPtr ErrorStringsPtr = (StrListPtr)MemHandleLock(hErrorStringsRsrc);
// lock the list resource
// set the string array
hErrorStringsRsrcArray =
(char**)SysFormPointerArrayToStrings(ErrorStringsPtr->firstString,ErrorStrin
gsPtr->numStrings);
pErrorStringRsrcArray = (char**)MemHandleLock(hErrorStringsRsrcArray);
// other code here
// get the length if the string at a particular index
len = StrLen(pErrorStringRsrcArray[x]) ;
Trying to compile the same code in the 4.0 SDK gives me all kinds of errors:
Seems I no longer need the (char**) typecasts, so I take them out...exepct
for the MemHandleLock. If I take out the typecast, it gives me a "Illegal
implicit conversion void* to _opaque*. What the heck is an _opaque*? If I
cast it (_opaque*) then it gets past it, but either way, I get "Illegal
type" error on the last line (the StrLen). It highlights the last "]".
What the heck is going on here?
It's a wonder how I got this far...
