Return Value

It should return the visible length (that is, text you can read)...

But you more or less have it working now: Buffer.readSTRING(0); should return the new filename/control ID or whatever you want to rename this way.

Oh and don't forget to collect garbage: always destroy DataBloc objects (if possible), by setting its size to zero:

JScript code:

---

var Buffer = Interop.Allocate(123);

Buffer.Size = 0;

There are just a few situations in which you cannot destroy memory blocks instantly, but I don't think you'll be in any of those.
