This might sound like a strange question but what does LPCTSTR really stand for. I have used it plenty of times and see it in msdn all the time. But what does it mean?
There also is a number of variations. Is there any good place to look it up?

long pointer to a constant unicode portable string (or something along those lines).
Gotta love all those Winapi typedefs
Actually, it's a long pointer (LP) to a constant (C) text (T) string (STR). 'Text', in this case, meaning either ANSI or Unicode, depending on whether you compiled with UNICODE defined or not.long pointer to a constant unicode portable string
It resolves to 'const wchar_t *' if UNICODE is defined, and 'const char *' otherwise.
