Q: How can I pass UDTs into optional parameters in VB 6.0 ?

I know VB does not allow passing UDTs as optional
parameters. One of my friends is looking for a workaround,
if possible. I will appreciate if anyone provides the
solution.

If the udt is declared as part of a com class, it can be passed to
routines, although the parameter type in the routine signature must be
declared as a variant.

If not you have two options.

1 - Pass in a pointer to the udt and use the copymemory, movememory
etc api's to manipulate the udt - another reason why vb is crap.

2 - Simple use a class instead of a udt - easy.
