Hi,

I wanted to write a string constant into an empty buffer:

Code:

'my string'

and my buffer:

Code:

buffer rb 15

now i wanted to use the following code to perform the operation:

Code:

cinvoke wsprintf,buffer,'%s','my string'

I thought I could do it that way, but it doesn't work.
The error message: Value out of range.
I'm a newbie, so can somebody help me? Confused

Regards
denial

It's too easy.

Code:

include '%fasminc%/win32ax.inc'
buffer rb 32
.code

  start:
        invoke wsprintf,buffer,'%s',"Hi! I'm the example program!"
        invoke  MessageBox,HWND_DESKTOP,buffer,"Win32 Assembly",MB_OK
        invoke  ExitProcess,0

.end start

Tomorrow, i will send a simple how use wsprintf with all formats

Mhmm I've got another question... is it possible to increase the declared byte size of the buffer dynamicaly? Maybe there's something like malloc() in C?

I searched about HeapAlloc/HeapReAlloc, however if I'm not wrong, couldn't find an example.
Maybe you could give me one? Smile

You could try:

Code:

src          dd ?

invoke  LocalAlloc,LMEM_FIXED,255
;255 is a number of allocated bytes
mov [src],eax
;[src] - pointer to allocated memmory

invoke        LocalFree,src
;freeing memmory
