Is there an easy way to set struct data

[nightwatcher]

Local $str = "int var1;byte var2;uint var3;char var4[128]"
Local $a = DllStructCreate($str)

we usually use the following way

DllStructSetData($a, "var1", -1)
DllStructSetData($a, "var2", 255)
DllStructSetData($a, "var3", -1)
DllStructSetData($a, "var4", "Hello")
DllStructSetData($a, "var4", Asc("h"), 1)

but I see someone use something like this to set  struct data

    $a.var1    = -1;
    $a.var2    = 255;
    $a.var3    = -1;

    $a.var4    = 'Hello';

  ;~  $a.var4[0]    = 'h'; this was a wrong way……

Is there any problem for this kind of usage?

And I am wondering how to  set data of an array in this way. 

Like mentioned before , change 'H' to 'h'. change an item of an array ,but keep others  unchanged.

Local $a = DllStructCreate($str)

$a.var4(1) = "H"
$a.var4(2) = "e"
$a.var4(3) = "l"
$a.var4(4) = "l"
$a.var4(5) = "o"

ConsoleWrite($a.var4 & @CRLF)

ConsoleWrite($a.var4(3) & @CRLF)

wow,tks for guiding！

I got an other question ， how to print char greater than 0x80

I use this to test the output.

For $i = 0x00 To 0xff
    $a=Chr($i)
    ConsoleWrite($a&@CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite(Asc($a)&@CRLF)
Next

but when greater than 127 ,the outputs are all the same '?'. and the ascii code is 63……weird.

Must be something with your codepage as things work fine here running it from ScITE.

what does ' codepage ' mean?

I can't understand you……

Is there a way to work this out

The codepage in effect is the charset currently selected by system/user for ANSI strings. Note that AutoIt, just like Windows, uses Unicode for native strings.

according to you statement , normally, that couldn't happed. because  those characters are included in Unicode .

what upset me is that when I use asc(), try to resum it from chr,all the acsii code is 63,this doesn't make sense……

if the  key of the problem is code page , the asc() function should return the rigth ascii code?

$te=DllStructCreate('byte b[3]')
$te.b(1)=1
$te.b(2)=2
$te.b(3)=3
For $a=1 To DllStructGetSize($te)
ConsoleWrite($te.b($a))
Next

I want to enum all the data,but this seem not work when using a variable like $a.

I use eval to work this out 

$te=DllStructCreate('byte b[3]')
$te.b(1)=1
$te.b(2)=2
$te.b(3)=3
For $a=1 To DllStructGetSize($te)
ConsoleWrite( $te.b(Eval('a'))&@CRLF)
Next

Of course, every character is part of Unicode, but its codepoint in Unicode is fixed and trivially unique, albeit it may or not be part of a given codepage.

Every Unicode character (wchar type in DllStruct) which is not within the current ANSI codepage is replaced by a question mark when converted to a char type.

OKay, that is a little difficult for me to understand……but I get you……

I naturally think 0x00 to 0xff will be surpported And I ignore the truth that the basic ascii code is only up to 127.

using chrw() can resolve this porblem.

thinks for all of you.
