I cannot do an (*Instance->Request)(RequestGetVars, &ExternalVars) ; in the
following method. I assume its because POV hasn't fully initialized Instance
yet. I need to know the Instance.HomePath so that I can read my .ini file
and initialize Instance.Enabled correctly.

What do I do?

Is there some place else I can set Enabled after POV has initialized the
DLL?  Or do I just have to know the directory where POV is installed,
without being able to ask POV itself?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew Wilcox


DWORD WINAPI PovGuiExtensionGetPointers (int RecSize, GuiPointerBlock
*PointerBlock)
{
   InstanceStruct        *Instance ;

... <code omitted>

   // READ THIS FROM AN INI FILE ! it should be persistent.
   Instance->Enabled = TRUE ;

   LoadPrefs(Instance);  // *** I cannot do an
(*Instance->Request)(RequestGetVars, &ExternalVars) ; in here.

   Instance->hInstance = hInstance ;
   // this is really a pointer to our InstanceStruct. don't confuse the term
'Instance' in this context
   // with Microsoft Windows's concept of an 'instance'. they're two
different things.
   PointerBlock->InstanceID = (DWORD) Instance ;
   return(TRUE) ;
}
