scadSDK_cogoGetHorizontalAlignments

Good Afternoon,

I have been fiddling with some alignment commands in the Inroads SS2 SDK and have had some trouble getting a list of alignment pointers from the scadSDK_cogoGetHorizontalAlignments.  I have tried multiple things to use this including: using the function as written in the SDK, Modify the SDK function  to take an array and modifiy this SDK funtion to take a string. None have worked.  Here is my code.:

Sub Get_Alignment_List()

'scadSDK_cogoCountNumberOfHorizontals Lib "SCadSDKAT" (ByVal prj As Long) As Long
'scadSDK_cogoGetHorizontalAlignments Lib "SCadSDKAT" (hAlg As Long, Count As Long, ByVal prj As Long) As Long
Dim oProj As Long
Dim oFlag As Long
Dim oCount As Long
Dim oALG As Long

oProj = 0

oCount = scadSDK_cogoCountNumberOfHorizontals(oProj) 'Gets the number of alignments in the project, needed as input.
Debug.Print oProj    'Prints the value of oProj to see if it has changed (it doesn't)
Debug.Print oCount 'Prints the number of Alignments in the active project.
oFlag = scadSDK_cogoGetHorizontalAlignments(oALG, oCount, oProj)
Debug.Print oALG ' print the alignement pointer

End Sub

My desire is to build a list of alignment names for a use to select from.  I have a work sub to get then name of the active alignment so it should be simple to modify that once i get the alg pointer i need.


Here is the SDK help file for the function.

scadSDK_cogoGetHorizontalAlignments

            #include <SCadCogo.h>
            
            int scadSDK_cogoGetHorizontalAlignments
            (
                ALGalign **hAlgs,   // (i/o) pre-allocated alignment list
                int *cnt,           // (i/o) number of alignments in list
                ALGproject *prj     // (i)   geometry project
            );
        

The term list confuses me. As a non-C programmer i don't understand how this type works. It seems to me that a list is an array but in other functions the return value of a list is a string type with individual characters separated by the ascii version of a null.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Jason
