Is there a clever way to call a Declare that expects one of its

resulting OSType in either a string or an integer?
void GetMediaHandlerDescription (
Media theMedia,
OSType *mediaType,
Str255 creatorName,
OSType *creatorManufacturer );
Sure - just declare the parameter ByRef as OSType, like this:
Declare Sub GetMediaHandlerDescription Lib "something appropriate" _
theMedia As Integer, _
ByRef mediaType As OSType, _
creatorName As PString, _
ByRef creatorManufacturer As OSType )
Now call it like this:
Dim mediaType As OSType
Dim creatorManufacturer As OSType
GetMediaHandlerDescription foo, mediaType, "creator",
creatorManufacturer
Now use your mediaType and creatorManufacturer variables as strings.
That works better than my suggestion and is easier to deal with anyways
