I want to convert a Double
variable into an 8-bytes array, this is what I've come with so far:
Dim b(0 To 7) As Byte
Dim i As Integer
dim d as double
d = 1 ' for simplicity, I sit the variable "d" to 1
For i = 0 To 7
Call CopyMemory(b(i), ByVal VarPtr(d) + i, 1)
Next i
' b => [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 240, 63]
What I'm doing wrong?
Don't use a loop, use the length argument:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" ( _
ByRef Destination As Any, _
ByRef Source As Any, _
ByVal Length As Long)
Sub DblToByte(ByVal D As Double)
Dim Bytes(LenB(D) - 1) As Byte
Dim I As Integer
Dim S As String
CopyMemory Bytes(0), D, LenB(D)
For I = 0 To UBound(Bytes)
S = S & CStr(Bytes(I)) & " "
Next
MsgBox S
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
DblToByte 1
Unload Me
End Sub
You don't show your declare statement, but CopyMemory can be declared differently for different uses of it. Try:
Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" ( _
ByVal pDst As Long, _
ByVal pSrc As Long, _
ByVal ByteLen As Long _
)
