[Amon Ra]

Hrmm, is there a list of all the basic and "advanced" types and a description.(advanced types such as LPSTR...) Thanks

WOW That's a lot of types

Quick explanation of why loads of them are LPxxx - LP means Long Pointer and stems from the 16-bit days of Windows (which most of us are still in ).

LPCSTR == const char* (guarantees it won't be changed)
LPCWSTR == const wchar_t*
LPCTSTR == const TCHAR* (TCHAR switches between char and wchar_t depending on compile options for Unicode)

Take out the C and you get the non-const version.
