Suppose we have a type T.
The declaration "const T* p" means that p is of type pointer to type T such
that the thing pointed to cannot be modified by dereferencing p.
Therefore, if a function is declared as
void foo(const T* p);
then, loosely speaking, all this means is that foo guarantees that it does
not modify *p.
What this means is that to call foo, you do NOT need to pass an argument of
type const T*; you can pass an argument of type T* without an explicit cast
and without warning.
So in your case, all you need is:
RGBColorType rgb = { 0, 255, 0, 0 };
WinSetForeColorRGB(&rgb, NULL);
Also, why are you setting the rgb.index field to NULL? Although the NULL
macro is defined to be 0, it is poor style to assign it to variables that
aren't pointers.
