Hi All,
In the following:

constant LPSTR= CArray[BYTE]; # long pointer to a string
constant DWORD:= uint32;
constant HANDLE = Pointer[void];

Let me ask this question a little simpler:
1) how to I tell NativeCall I only want the
C pointer back, not what it points to?
2) how do I tell NativeCall I am sending it
a C pointer?
Many thanks,

Hi All,
Why can I get away with
my Str $x = "";
But I have to use .new here (an other places too)
my $ppSession = NativeCall::Types::Pointer.new();
Is there some rule I can follow that let me know
when I have to use .new and when I do not?
(I am getting tired of figuring it out the

Hi All,

The following is a test example of the use of
pointers for calling Windows DLL's and
for copying data out of structures when given
a pointer to the structure.
Before you tell me there is an easier way to
get the computer name out of "GetComputerNameA,"

I think the following is a golf of your confusion:

Hi All,

raku -v Welcome to RakudoΓäó v2022.07.
When ever I run the following, it opens
a Notepad with the text of the calling
raku program.
raku -e "use lib '.'; use NativeWinUtils :RunCmd; say RunCmd(Q[ls]);"
This is RunCmd
sub RunCmd( Str $Command
If those are true, then this code:
```
use lib '.'; use NativeWinUtils :RunCmd; say RunCmd(Q[ls]);
```
is NOT running the code you showed starting `sub RunCmd`.

I think I misspoke. I do believe qqx is trying
to run the sub from the module.

Hi All,
On my sub declarations, I like to use "export"
sub abc() returns Str {...}
becasue it makes eh sub easier to figure out at
a glance when I go to maintain it.
Two exports I have not figured out are
1) an array,
2) an object created from a custom class.
returns @
gets the
