Print Page - Variable type POINT

Title: Variable type POINT
Post by: Andy on November 02, 2016, 06:55:21 AM

Fasecero gave an example of this:

   POINT p
   p.x = MOUSEX()
   p.y = MOUSEY()

But what is the variable type of p? - is it a pointer? if so, I get an error when I use DELETE p.

I cannot find any mention of it in the help file, so I was wondering what type it is, and if it is a pointer, how do I delete it.

Thanks,
Andy.

it is a USER DEFINED type that has been predefined

Code Select

TYPE foo
  DEF name as STRING
  DEF age as INT
ENDTYPE

Code Select

TYPE POINT
  DEF x as INT
  DEF y as INT
ENDTYPE
