IntPtr and method P/Invoke

[Christian Westerlund]

Hi!

I'm trying to use P/Invoke and a Method which takes an IntPtr where I am
supposed to put an address to a method which the native method will use
to communicate back to me. How do I convert a method to an IntPtr?

Hi, Christian

Did you check sample at

Hi!

Well, in that sample and as in any sample I have seen the P/Invoke
function takes a delegate object like this:
public static extern int EnumWindows(Cal lBack x, int y);
Then it is not a problem, you create a delegate object and send it but I
have a function that is more like this:
public static extern int EnumWindows(Int Ptr callback, int y)

If I send a delegate object as the first parameter I get an error and I
have no idea how to convert a delegate to an IntPtr.

Hi, Christian

I am not sure I understand your issue. You can declare function as in the
sample instead of with IntPtr and test if it works.

Hi!

Thanks for the help but there is no information about the function I am
using there.
Is it even possible to send an adress to a method as an int?

Christian, I don't have the anwer but I might be able help you find it. Have you checked out the www.pinvoke.net web site? Its purpose is to share P/Invoke information.

Hi!

Well, the reason I don't want to change the P/Invoke declaration is that
I add a reference to an assembly with this function declaration, that
someone else has written so I don't want to alter the code because then
I'll have to do it all over when a new version is released. I thought
that there was an easy way to accomplish this. I can't find the guy who
has written it, otherwise I would have talked to him about it.

When I change the declaration and replace the IntPtr to my delgate type
the program crashes when the callback is supposed to happen.

what exactly is crash message or code? If you have available original
definition of function and callback (C++ or whatever was used), possibly
posting it would help to find the reason.
You might need to use DllImportAttrib ute like CallingConventi on too. Now it
is not clear if it crashes because of wrong callback definition, parameter
passing or something else.

Hi!

The message I get is "Unhandled WIN 32 exception".

The delegate :
public delegate byte STREAMCALLBACK( IntPtr stream, IntPtr buff, int len,
int param);

my callback method:
public byte EndSongCallback (IntPtr stream, IntPtr buff, int len, int
param){}

the method which calls the win32 function:
{
STREAMCALLBACK callback = new STREAMCALLBACK( EndSongCallback );
Stream.FSOUND_S tream_SetEndCal lback(_currentS ong, callback ,(IntPtr) 0);
}

[DllImport ("fmod.dll")]
public static extern bool FSOUND_Stream_S etEndCallback(I ntPtr
FSOUND_STREAM_s tream,STREAMCAL LBACK
FSOUND_STREAMCA LLBACK_callback ,IntPtr userdata);

Use Marshal.GetLast Win32Error to get more details on the error.
You might have also issue with return type byte for callback.
What is original non-.Net declaration?

Hi!

How do I use GetLastWin32Err or? How can I call GetLastWin32Err or when I
don't know when the error occurs?

The declaration is:
signed char F_CALLBACKAPI FSOUND_STREAMCA LLBACK(FSOUND_S TREAM
*stream,void *buff,int len,void *userdata);
