can any one help me? i need to pass a pointer of a structure to a procedure.
and then access certain data from the structure.

for example:

struct TDk
a db 1
b db 2
ends

tdk TDK

stdcall somefunc tdk

proc somefunc lpStrucutre
mov eax,[lpStructure].b ;should be the same as mov eax,[tdk.b]
ret
endp
