You can do exactly that if you really want to, with a bit of
overhead. m.Double is a function, so just subclass memoryblock and
write your own function that does what you want.
Asn well as
for i as integer = 0 to 100
p.Double[I] = 666.666

Yes, it would be nice - that's why I suggested more robust pointers.
It would be great if we could do something like "Pointer p As Double"
instead of "Dim p As Ptr", and modify it directly "p(i) =
666.666" (does that make sense? or am I nuts?)
I don't see why you couldn't just do:
dim m as new MemoryBlock(800)
dim p as ptr = m.Ptr(0)
for i as integer = 0 to 99 step 8
p.Double(i) = 666.666
Next
When you're touching values in sequence that certainly makes a lot of
sense but I can understand Daniel's furstrations when you need random
access.
