    MS Variable Naming Conventions...

    Alright... I never really thought about before until now, but I was wondering what the "z" is for in their variable names...

    eg. lpszString

    I am pretty sure that the "lp" is "local pointer" and the "s" means that it is a string... or is it the "sz"?

    I thought it went like this:
    lp - long pointer
    sz - string terminated with a zero

    Search the forum for Hungarian Notation (it might be in Chit Chat actually) - I posted the memo written by one of Microsoft's employees on naming conventions.
