Why the &

[CyberCarsten]

Take a look at this piece:

TranslateMessage(&msg);


Why is there an ampersand(&) in front of msg????

[parksie]

& is like AddressOf in VB.

Translate message takes a pointer to MSG, so it needs the memory location, a bit like ByRef, because it needs to alter it. So, you pass a pointer by getting it's address using &.
