    hungarian notation

    for what does "m" stand in hungarian notation? Example - m_hWindow. I think it has to do with the fact that the variable is in a class...

    For those of you that have no clue what Hungarian notation is and would like to learn a bit, click here It doesn't answer my question though.
    Away.

    As I've heard it, it sorta means "member of" a class.
    "Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods."
