    HeapSetInformation Query

    Hi,

    Can anybody let me know if using HeapSetInformation to set the process heap to a LF Heap
    causes subsequent calls to GloballAlloc within the process to use a LF Heap, or does it only
    work if you use HeapAlloc with the handle used in HeapSetInformation?

    thanx

    New code should not use GlobalAlloc(), you should use the standard HeapAlloc - and then you don't need the answer to your question.

    Smile Thanx

    thanx for that, trying to reuse some old code, but be better to change it, less problems later :-)

    Officially, there's no guarantee. In reality yes, from XP to 7 at least.
