Hi all, I''m trying to find the EXACT struct definitions for items such as..HWND, HDC..etc.. I tried looking in the win32 SDK that came with VC++ 6.0, but it really wasn''t any help. Does anyone know where of a reference (preferably online and..hehe ... free) that lists that definitions of some or even al the structs? or at least the more important ones? also, does anyone know of a good article or something that explains (better than the bok im reading now) more about GDI Device contexts or rather simply device contexts in general?? Thanks! any help would be greatly appreciated!

read through windef.h in your compiler''s source include directory. all those are described by "DECLARE_HANDLE". This is a macro in (for me) winnt.h:

  
#ifdef STRICT
typedef void *HANDLE;
#define DECLARE_HANDLE(name) struct name##__ { int unused; }; typedef struct name##__ *name
#else
typedef PVOID HANDLE;
#define DECLARE_HANDLE(name) typedef HANDLE name
#endif
typedef HANDLE *PHANDLE;
