I am trying to use the ReadFile API function. The signatures goes like this:

BOOL WINAPI ReadFile( __in HANDLE hFile, __out LPVOID lpBuffer, __in DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead, __out_opt LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesRead, __inout_opt LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped );

So I have made:

boolean ReadFile( HANDLE hFile, Pointer lpBuffer, int nNumberOfBytesToRead, IntByReference lpNumberOfBytesRead, OVERLAPPED lpOverlapped);

I believe this is correct, but is it? I am using HANDLE and OVERLAPPED definitions from the Kernel32 samples.

Now the part I can't figure out - how to use it. I can't instantiate a Pointer or PointerType. So how do I declare the Pointer lpBuffer variable to pass to the function? Also, how do I get the data out of the variable type once read?

Thank you greatly for your help!
