Hi object experts! I am a little stymied on an "internal" object question. In the course of restoring objects from a SAVE file, I can definitely restore the class *structure*. That is, I can read the structure definition, the super classes, etc and reconstruct a class structure filled with the correct data. My question is, how do I get an object "pointer" to it. To be clear, the is the difference between S and O in the following code: s = {objtype, name:'a', value: 27} o = obj_new('objtype') IDL> help, s, o S STRUCT = -> OBJTYPE Array[1] O OBJREF = <ObjHeapVar3(OBJTYPE)> I have a structure like S, and want to make it into an object pointer like O, preserving the data inside S. Any ideas, or is this impossible? Craig -- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- Craig B.
