Thank you very much.

>Download Heap allocation class File #9482. It has NumToLong method you can use.

oHeap = NEWOBJECT("heap", "clsheap.fxp")
>lcRect = ;
>	oHeap.NumToLonf(10) + ;
>	oHeap.NumToLonf(0) + ;
>	oHeap.NumToLonf(100) + ;
>	oHeap.NumToLonf(100)
>...
>oHeap = Null

This class has also some other usefull features for Windows API programming in VFP.

>>Hi to all

>>I am using a dll (_ISource30.dll) from www.smalleranimals.com. One of the functions of this DLL is to write text on an image.
>>
>>A number of parameters are passed to the function. One of them is by reference and consist of 4 values (bounding rectangle for the text). The only way according to me is to pass them as values within an array. I cant get the function to draw text. The developers assured me that it is working.
