This one gets me every time.

I have a handle to a block of memory which I have got from a resource. I need to pass that information on to a ToolBox, but it expects a pointer.

How do I do it?

Just to indicate what I'm trying to do here is the function which is causing me grief...



clear local
local fn MountVolume

dim pbBlk.128, AFPInfo.2048
dim osErr%
dim @resHndl as handle

resHndl = FN pGget1Res(_"myfl",_volumeInfoRes,gResRef)'get saved volume info in handle

pbBlk.ioCompletion&   = 0 'no iocompletion
pbBlk.ioBuffer& = @AFPInfo 'pointer to volume info - this is actually resHndl


osErr% = fn PBVolumeMount(@pbBlk)

end fn = osErr%
