in fact my problem is that i want to draw a pic into a member of a typedef
struct (vehicule_model)

typedef struct vehicule_model
{
 BITMAP *thing1;
}

for that i use a function located in other .c file.
when i call first the function (ini_vehicule) to create the bitmap
(create_bitmap).

***** in truc.c: *****

#include ...

int ini_vehicule (vehicule_model veh)
{
 veh.thing1 = create_bitmap(64, 64);
}
***** end *****

***** in main.c: *****
...
vehicule_model car;
...
ini_vehicule(car);
blit ( datessai[essai].dat, car.thing1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 64, 64);
blit ( car.thing1, screen, 0, 0, 200,200, 64, 64);
...
***** end *****

no error, when i display it on the screen, using blit function, no pic
is displayed.

i don't know how i must declare my variable "car" with the type of
vehicule_model...
In fact i want the function ini_vehicule to do something with a variable
passed in arguments.

i've read that "call by reference" done what i want.
i have tryed this, instead of:

ini_vehicule(car):

i've wrote

ini_vehicule(&car)


is it the good way ?
