Very weird problem using DDT.

[E B Knoppert]

Try to compile this:

Yes, forget the dialog new, it's only for compiling in this case.
In this case i get the error:
"invalid register variable"

Now, enable the a&

Now it compiles fine!

I certainly don't hope that i need specific calls like registervariable or sort of..(!)

CallBack Function Form1() As Long
End Function

Function PBMain()

    Dim hDlg As Long
'    Dim a&
    Dim Result As Long


    DIALOG SHOW MODAL hDlg, CALL Form1 TO Result

    Msgbox Str$( Result )

End Function

The compiler does not support the use of register variables with the TO keyword in most cases. When you "unrem" your second DIM statement, the variable "RESULT&" reverts to being a memory variable as only the 1st two (integer class) variables can be register variables in each sub/function.

Note, it is possible that the compiler may accept register variables with the TO keyword in future editions of the compiler.

Frankly, i don't care much for register variables.

I think that de compiler should recognize this variable.
It complains about the misused variable but does not skip it because it's a 'To' variable..

I.o.w. the ordinary Basic programmer should not be worried about these #register none stuff and should have the poss. to skip this 'low-level' functions at all.

Thanks,

and.. don't burn me
