(* Lets define some lovely hook-functions *)


PROCEDURE DspFunc(hook : HookPtr; array : APTR; listPtr : APTR) : APTR;
    BEGIN

        (* if listPtr is NIL then we have to provide the titles *)
        IF listPtr#NIL THEN (* normal entry *)

        (* Yeah! Wild casts ;-)
        ** What we do here is to convert some strings to the format used
        ** by C.
        ** In C string-arrays are defined the following way :
        **      array -> elem1 -> "string1"
        **               elem2 -> "string2"
        **                 .
        **                 .
        **                 .
        ** So we have a pointer called 'array' which points to an array.
        ** This array consists of pointers to strings.
        ** Now we have to build that in M2.
        ** The type of elem1 is STRPTR (a pointer to a string)
        ** The type of array is STRARRPTR ( a pointer to a string array)
        ** So look in MuiMacros.def where STRPTR, STRARR and STRARRPTR are defined.
        ** So the array we get passed to our hook is an C-Array. So we have
        ** to cast it to STRARRPTR, since it is one of these.
        ** This is done by CAST(STRARRPTR, array).
        ** Since this is a pointer we have to derefernce it with ^.
        ** Then we have an array of type STRARR.
        ** There we have to fill in the right pointers to our columns.
        ** This is done by [0], [1] and [2].
        ** The second CAST in a line casts the APTR which holds the pointer to
        ** the element, we have to display to our real List-Type (here ListPtr).
        ** Then we can dereference our ColumnX and fill in the address of it
        ** in the array, which we get from MUI to fill in our strings.
        ** Ofcourse we just fill in the pointer to the string (ADR).
        ** (another way to do this is defining the ListContents-Type as follows :
        ** TYPE ListContent = RECORD
        **                      col1    : STRPTR;
        **                      col2    : STRPTR;
        **                      ...
        ** The we do not need the ADR but must fill in directly the address of
        ** the string.) Clear ?
        ** (or just copy this code and modify it ;-)
        *)
