yes

For example

Code:

  proc MessageWindow,hwnddlg, msg, wparam, lparam
  .lvfi LV_FINDINFO
  .hList rd 1
  .h1011 rd 1
  .h1012 rd 1
  .h1013 rd 1
  .h1014 rd 1
  .h1015 rd 1
  .h1016 rd 1
        enter        
....
endp

Hello!

I use this kind of local labels in my procedures. This way similar procedures can use same local labels.

;***********************
;procedure Myprocedure
;***********************

Myprocedure:

jmp .start ;skip local labels

;---------------------
;local label definitions
.x
.y
.color
.screen_width

;-----------------------

.start: ;actual code starts

;here's the code itself
;.......

ret ;end of procedure

regards

But you have local variables inside code and thus you need to have writeable code section.
Local variables are normally located on stack.

I just wrote a small skeleton procedure to illustrate my approach. Of course there are several other ways of using local variables. This is my way and makes coding more standard at the stage of writing.

Anybody else using other method??
