Dword???

Search the MSDN site, readup on whats DWORD. The site told me that its a value...but i can't understand cause i came across the usage of DWORD on some programs, but don't seems to be as simple as a value.... Still cannot understand whats DWORD use for...???

DWORD...datatype???structure???function???

Please spare your little knowledge to enlighten me....Thanks!!! :)

Its a typedef for an unsigned 32bit value....nothing more

Yeah ...

typedef unsigned int DWORD;

although

It would be more apropriate

to be:

typedef unsigned long DWORD;

because in 16 bit compiler it wouldn't have 32 bit lenght

So its just a predefine unsign int variable...?

Guess so........Windows seems to do this quite often you'll come across some other ones you'll see I had the same problem. Thankfully now I got me Programming Windows by Petzold......beautiful.....highly recommend it.........

Yes, you'll also come across BYTE (unsigned char) and WORD (unsigned int) I think.

>>...WORD (unsigned int)...

uhm.
WORD is

typedef unsigned short WORD;


because int is 32bit...
