I'm sorry but this thread doesn't make much sense. Could you possibly try and re-word what you're saying? The reason why the traditional draw_text function returns a structure pointer is so you have access to the element you just allocated. In your example; it would have to be returning a string (your syntax is incorrect in your example btw, I can't tell if you're implying an array of 18 strings or characters; so im going with characters.), so as John said...what is DrawText supposed to be returning?
