Yes: declare the parameter ByRef.
Also - how can I convert a pointer to a structure obtained from a
Dylib call
into an RB structure reference ?
You can't do that directly, but you can dereference the pointer:
Dim foo As Ptr, bar As someStructure
bar = foo.someStructure
Couldn't the AddressOf keyword be extended in future to cover this ?
Yes, but that would take REALbasic in a different direction than we
intend to go. REALbasic is not a pointer-oriented language.
