Detailed Description

MiniGUI maintains a private heap for length-fixed strings, and allocates length-fixed strings from this heap for window caption, menu item text, and so on. You can also use this private heap to allocate length-fixed strings.

    char * buffer = FixStrAlloc (strlen ("Hello, world!"));

    if (buffer)
        strcpy (buffer, "Hello, world!");

    ...

    FreeFixStr (buffer);

char *GUIAPI FixStrDup

(
