Windows programming.....handle.?
What is an handle.............what are the various data types in windows programming...........
A handle is basically a pointer
WinAPI uses lots of them of because it is in C which doesn't have classes so pointers to structures are a solution to this.
Other data types are just basic C++ types with another name
eg:
BYTE = unsigned char
WORD = unsigned short
