Notes:
* lNull1 links to another Heap during compilation and its nulled when releasing.
* lConst1 is set to -1 by the compiler (maybe some reserved value).
* lNull2 is not used in run-time mode.
* lNull3, lNull4, lNull5 and lNull6 are temporary values only used in the IDE.

Memory Pointers:
-> Project Exec COM Object

Anyone know why its there what? What do you mean?

Is this proper?

aObject As Long ' 0x30

Doesn't the address at this offset point to a table (ModuleTable?) that in turn contains a pointer to the PCODE procedures/events for each object in that module? Thus, calling this address the "object" may not be correct. Or am I wrong?

Im not sure at the moment, because im writing from Uni and I aint got my laptop handy. Nevertheless, the node that you are on about doesnt necessarily go to the ModuleTable. With forms and some other things, there is the general small table, and an additional table to accomodate stuff like graphical object information etc. Im not sure of the names, i'll post it all when im in Uni with my laptop next...

Yes, I see the confusion. "Module Table" was not intended to reference a VB module (as opposed to a VB form); rather, it was supposed to mean any object (.bas, .frm, etc) type. Under THAT concept, you are correct in that the pointer under discussion doesn't necessarily point to a module.

So, let me try to re-phrase my question:

The pointer under discussion, at +0x30, points to another structure/table [which will contain either a null (0x00000000) if there are no GUI objects (so there are no events/procedures for them - duh!), or a valid address pointer to the event/procedures for those GUI objects if they DO exist]. So, does that pointer at +0x30 qualify for the name "object"?

sarge, this pointer points to an array of objects (u call that Modules)
ill post that objects structure, mayb u can understand better

ProjectInfo

Object_x

the Object_1 is the object that is pointed by aObject
the following objects are after
hope u understood...

[="moogman":3mr1l34l]Anyone know why its there what? What do you mean?[/:3mr1l34l]

The aProjectName....why is it in the ObjectTable? the ProjectName is already referenced in the ProjectInfo Struct....

why put it in twice??

Why put it in at all? Thats just the logic of the creators of our jigsaw

Sarge did you ever understand this?? aObject is an address to the First Object in an array

I expect that it is just semantics....as you can probably tell, I've moved past that and am on to bigger and better things. Thanks, though....it's just that I am a stickler for consistancy whenever possible, thus my moral objections to things like the element of a structure being a pointer called "aSomething", but the structure it points to is name "SomethingElse". This was the basis for my request for that graphical structure flow chart you have so graciously provided.

No problems, I just keep on trucking...

I've changed aObject to aObjects, because I think it's more readable (it points to an array of objects and not just 1 object unless there is none or only 1)

Maybe that was what Sarge meant

[="_aLfa_":2rvqgbnx]How do I make it sticky?[/:2rvqgbnx]on the first post of a topic, when you edit it....i think it defaults to "normal" there is a line to change it to Sticky,announcment and global announcement

Cough...cough

Don't change "are" to "probably are" . Those values are defintely IDE only, since I've checked them out myself I know, I know, I'm being thickheaded

uuidObjectTable is not a Long, its an UUID.
Thank you for spoting that small mistake!
