' Procedure : GoToPtr

' Purpose : GoTo a pointer
' Warning : It's not a JMP, is a GoTo, so the execution of the program won't continue
' where you made the GoTo...

Public Sub GoToPtr(ByVal lPtr As Long)
Dim tSubRoutine As SUBROUTINE
tSubRoutine.lPtr = lPtr
Call GoSubReturn(VarPtr(tSubRoutine))
End Sub
Due some problems with Stack you won’t be able to return the place you call this function… So generally you will need to close process in the code pointed by lPtr :)
Example:
Sub Main()
Call GoToPtr(gP(AddressOf RMain))
End Sub
Function gP(ByVal lPtr As Long) As Long
gP = lPtr
End Function
Sub RMain()
MsgBox "Hi!"
End
End Sub
