HFILE is an "abstract type" that could (theoretically) change in its implementation later. Further, if you use hungarian notation, it will be a hf prefix, to alert you that this variable should only be used as a handle to a file, and not anything else. Chances are, it will never change in implementation. However, it does alert you to its special use. And that's what all the _other_ special types are for as well. :-) HWND, IIRC, is simply a long. Again, it's there to remind you not to use it as a handle to a file... ;-) --- Maximus/2 3.01* Origin: Tanktalus' Tower BBS (PVT) (1:342/708) SEEN-BY: 50/99 270/101 620/243 625/100 711/401 409 410 413 430 808 809 934 SEEN-BY: 711/955 712/407 515 624 628 713/888 800/1 @PATH: 342/5015 61 3615/50 396/1 270/101 712/515 711/808 934 |
