You can actually see how I handle the SystemTime structure in my FAQ at http://www.levelextreme.com/wconnect/wc.dll?UniversalThread~2,33,Forum=5,29,617.

In structure terms, everything is a character. If the structure needs a DWORD or WORD (numerics), you have to convert the numeric into a 4 byte or 2 byte character representation, respectively. The FAQ demonstrates a function to do this and Ed Rauh's CLSHEAP program also has functions to do this (and to do the reverse).

Good luck!

>Mario,
>Depending on the structure, you can simulate it using a character string. Some structures have pointers to other structures and these are more difficult. I've used to Ed Rauh's CLSHEAP and Christof Lange's STRUCT classes to help out with these situations. Both are availble from the Download section.
