Hello I have a third party api that I am using within a C# Windows form
I am having trouble with one piece of it where I am trying to increment through a ptr to a structure that has a ptr to ten structures within it and was hoping for some advice This is my code for a function call - In a nutshell it pulls 10 records at a time and then is supposed to loop and get the next ten. The variable top is what keeps track of the number of records processed. I think but not sure and this is really part of my problem. It should go back into the call when it loops to grab the next ten records starting with the value of top. The num value is the number of total records that come back from the call after the call. Example if I know I have 50 records and top starts at 0 and grab the first 10 then will be 50 num and then it will loop and top should be 10 and so num should be 40. It will do the loop until it reaches the end of num
during each iteration I grab the proper value from the structures within the structure and plop it to the grid. I have sample C code that I included below along with my structures and code. Can someone take a look at this and give advice on what doing wrong and can do differently.
All help is appreciated
Given that here is my information
This is the setup of the structures
This is my code
This is a sample from C that I have to work off of - and obviously I am not properly converting it.
The following program reads all registration information of NC program,
and displays program number list.

This is a sample from C that I have to work off of - and obviously I am not properly converting it.
The following program reads all registration information of NC program,
and displays program number list.
C#:
#include "fwlib32.h"
#define BUFSIZE 100
void example()
{
PRGDIR3 prg[BUFSIZE];
short i, num;
short top = 0;
do {
num = BUFSIZE;
ret = cnc_rdprogdir3( h, 0, &top, &num, prg );
if ( ret == EW_NUMBER ) {
break;
}
if ( ret ) {
printf( "ERROR: %d\n", ret );
break;
}
for ( i = 0 ; i < num ; i++ ) {
printf( "O%d\n", prg[i].number );
}
top = prg[num-1].number + 1;
} while ( num >= BUFSIZE );
}
