What does NormalTag.GetDataAddressW() return? The docs say it returns a NormalHandle, but this doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. Am I right in thinking this is a pointer to an array of NormalStructs?

Thanks,

Steve

Starting with R12 this really is an opaque handle than must not be casted into anything. The normal tag has the members Get/Set/Copy to access the data.

Example from the SDK documentation (NormalTag::Get) :

  
const NormalHandle dataptr = normaltag->GetDataAddressR();  
  
for (LONG i=0; i<cnt; i++)  
{  
  NormalStruct res;  
  NormalTag::Get(dataptr, i, res);  
  
  //do something with res  
}  

cheers,
Matthias

Got it, thanks. Not sure how I missed that in the docs; must have been tired yesterday after all weekend spent recompiling things
