C++ typedef and PureBasic

[SFSxOI]

I have this i'm converting from something for Vista DWM

Code: Select all

typedef HANDLE HTHUMBNAIL;
typedef HTHUMBNAIL* PHTHUMBNAIL;

I know the 'typedef HANDLE HTHUMBNAIL;' part will end up looking like a thumbnail handle probably for PB but i'm not sure about the 'typedef HTHUMBNAIL* PHTHUMBNAIL;' - - or is is a pointer to handle to a thumbnail in PB? or how would it look in PB?

or is it 'Define <variable>.<type>' but then does it matter what the type is? I'm always confused over the C++ 'typedef' when converting something to PB.

I'd put both of them as longs.

seems so, from the abbreviation...

if they are sole handle/pointer, it's possible to declare them LONG as Trond suggested,
but perhaps better look them up in the MSDN if they happen to be structures....
