Complie error in VB?

[BoXon]

Hi!

I'm new at VB, so this probkem may be very easy. :D

But, what i'm trying to do is to get the numbers of engines at the aircraft.

But when i try to make the EXE or testdrive the program i get "Complie error: Expected: list separator or )"!

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim numbersOfEng As Long
Dim dwResult As Long
Call FSUIPC_Read(&0AEC, 2, VarPtr(numbersOfEng), dwResult)
Call FSUIPC_Process(dwResult)
lblnumbersOfEng.Caption = numbersOfEng
End Sub

It seems like it don't liek the "AEC" part in the FSUIPC_Read().

What to do about it?

I don't know VB at all. sorry. Is the correct hexadecimal format "&0AEC" or "$0AEC", or even "&H0AEC"? Seems different in different reports. You need to check the VB reference manuals I think.

Change this:

FSUIPC_Read(&0AEC, 2, VarPtr(numbersOfEng), dwResult)

To this:

Call FSUIPC_Read(&H0AEC, 2, VarPtr(numbersOfEng), dwResult)

when you goto a new line or finish the "call" it will correct it to "&HAEC"

basiclly when entering "any" offset type &H in front of it... this will "auto" correct & remove the "0" in front if needed.....
