VarTypeEx to Detect Pointer Variables
Keywords: VarType VarTypeEx Type Pointer Variables
Question:
Right now, some of my routines take a parameter that may, or may not, be a pointer. I'm detecting this withif strsub(parameter,1,9)=='#VAR$PTR#'Which works fine, but seems clunky. Is there a better way?
I respectfully suggest that VarType be extended to report pointer-ish-ness. I realize they are strictly speaking just strings, but nevertheless a test seems possible and useful.
Answer:
That is a great suggestion. I will forward this request to our developers.This works until/if a native solution comes along.
#DefineFunction VarTypeEx(a) If VarType(*a)>=0 Then Return 2048+VarType(*a) Else Return VarType( a) #EndFunction
