    I just started learning API, and I am really stuck.

    Code:
    FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH = &H80000000
    thats not the whole code,
    but what is the &H8000etc... for?
    what does that mean?

    FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH is the name of a constant. &H80000000 is it's assigned value. Any number in VB starting with &H is a hexadecimal number.

    how do I convert it from hex, and can I just give the value?
    this isnt real I am sure, but say &H80000000 = 3
    instead of
    Code:
    FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH = &H80000000
    could I do this]

    Code:
    FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH = 3

    ???

    Pull up your Windows' Calulator (view: Scientific).
    Click the Hex radiobox and enter 80000000.
    Then click the Dec. In this case, &H80000000 = 2147483648.

    Put this in your immediate window and press enter:
    Code:
    ?&H80000000
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
