As Eli says this is help-gnu-emacs, so talking about the peculiarities
of MS Windows is off-topic.
I'll just say this much more about it.... I was giving the old Windows
interfaces as an example of where Hungarian Notation can be useful even
though the language has types. If Microsoft have finally fixed it in
MSVC then that's great for people using MSVC. It still shows that the
problem can happen. It may not help old programs though, and the
classic Windows interface is mostly for old programs. In the past
programmers often wouldn't cast handles correctly. Sometimes variables
were declared with HANDLE. It will help old programs that were written
carefully.
I agree with the criticisms Eli Zaretski, Rusi and Pascal Bourguignon
made of what I wrote. I was trying to make things simple. I could have
been more precise and kept things simple.
BR,
Robert Thorpe
