AutoIt Plugin question

[Richard Robertson 186]

I know that AutoIt's variables are variants, and they support numbers, strings, and window handles. Would I be able to pass a non-window handle back for the scripter to hold on to between functions? I wanted to write a GDIPlus plugin for AutoIt to use on any window, but all I found was the set for an HWND value. How would I pass a different handle, or would AutoIt not support it?

I remember that Mx63.dll passed back pointers, but i am not sure how he did it.... maybe convert the pointers into an int? (if i remeber correctly, pointers are 4 bytes....)

Maybe pointers will be your solution?

Pointers? Thanks, that's actually simple. Just (int)(pointertype) right?
