    With {As|Like} vartype At- a virtual idea

    Uses "console"
    
    
           Type t_Test
             X As Long
             Y As Long
             Z As Long
             magic As Function
             
           End Type
    
           Function t_Test.magic() As Long
            Function = Pow(Me.x+Me.y,Me.z)+(Me.z+Me.y*Me.x)*Me.z*(Me.y -Me.x)
           End Function
           
           DWord pData = HEAP_Alloc(SizeOf(t_Test))
           
           With As t_Test At pData
             .X = 1
             .Y = 2
             .Z = 3
             PrintL .magic
           End With
            
           
    PrintL $CRLF & "                  --- any key to end ---"
    WaitKey
    
    sorry i wish it would run

    the idea is to use With As ... [At ...] so might need steps for understanding to reach the syntax above:

    'just use "With" and instant layover in one go:
      
    With [Local win] As cWindow At Dialog_GetUser(CBHNDL,1)
    
    
      .SetText("I'm a new caption at the current calling window")
      .Refresh() ' *** redraw is keyword already
              '           :( why cant this be differentiated...
    End With
    

    now got the idea? Great were if this were possible too:

    With Like "cWindow" At Dialog_GetUser(CBHNDL,1)
    
    it should be possible to use more than 1 "With As ... At ..." inside a function and allow usage of different types in different executions of the same function when "With Like ... At ..."

    perhaps in general the At is not even mandatory
    - we could create a "real local variable" of some udt also this way and instantly use its properties & functions - until End With follows
    (in case we need to name the variable somehow then it could stay valid until exit funcion)

    I think there are missing some Forum-sections as beta-testing and support
