How can I get a value with a pointer to void from the GetCtrlVal-function??

[andy320]

I'd like to get a value from the GetCtrlVal-function with a pointer to void and pass it to the SetCtrlVal-function. Does this work and how do I have to pass the pointer to the function??

Andy,

All you need to do is cast the pointer to the appropriate type when passing it arround. Here is a small example:

void *temp;
temp = malloc(sizeof(double));
GetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_BPM, (double *)temp);
DebugPrintf("The value is...%f", *((double *)temp));
SetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_BPM, *((double *)temp));
free(temp);

Make sure that you allways have the required memory space allocated for the data type that you are using.

Hope that helps.
