DllStructCreate and complex structs

[Apzo]

Hello

I would realy love to use the libgd dll with AutoIt.

First step : define the DllStructCreate for the returned dll vars.

And I need help

It seems like the following struct includes itself.

So is it possible ? Wich type can I use for a struct in a struct ?

The au3 doc explains how to do with a "char[128]" element.

How do I declare "char **pixels" ?

Most gd functions return (or use) the gdImagePtr type.

I'm a bit lost...

Thanks for your help !

Apzo.
