Hi,

I allready read the tutorial http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=54348 but I found no solution - maybe because of English is not my native language ...
I need a pointer to an array but can't make it working:
udtLVItem.pszText = Int(Byte Ptr(baBuffer[0]))

Don't work...
What is the right way for?

Thanks,

Andre

You dont need to use a pointer to the first element, as the variable itself points to it,
and if the array and the pointer are of the same type, you dont need any typecasting:

Local a:Byte[10]
Local p:Byte Ptr = a

Btw, your above code is missing a VarPtr, and since it returns a Byte Ptr no need to typecast it:

udtLVItem.pszText = Int(VarPtr baBuffer[0])

Assuming pszText is an integer.
