Is it impossible to use sendto in VB?

[TJNweb]

Hello, I have question aboute sendto function with Socket.
in msdn:

########################################################
int sendto(
SOCKET s,
const char* buf,
int len,
int flags,
const struct sockaddr* to,
int tolen
);

s
[in] Descriptor identifying a (possibly connected) socket.
buf
[in] Buffer containing the data to be transmitted.
len
[in] Length of the data in buf, in bytes.
flags
[in] Indicator specifying the way in which the call is made.
to
[in] Optional pointer to a SOCKADDR structure that contains the address of the target socket.
tolen
[in] Size of the address in to, in bytes.

#########################################################

But parameter to [in] is user defined structure and it should be passed byVal (pointer), but VisualBasic 5.0 can't do it. (Pass user difened structured byVal).
It is very involved situation and I will be grateful to everybody who can help me. Actually I want to send broadcast message

Thanks in advance

ByVal is NOT passing a pointer, ByVal is passing a copy.
ByRef is passing a pointer.

Thanks LazyMe,
Do you have any example how to send data by using sendto?

No, I'm sorry but I've never used them socket APIs.
