[kv79]

Hi to all ,just a small question.
When i read in the book for Win32 API tur. in c++,
this: "
cbSize
The size of the structure. "
I asked my self ,what sturcture?
I tought we useing class.

After pack of moments,my most logical conclude.
The class is extended(embodiment) structure ,so the writer is knew about that and He have a free to write this.
Am i right?

cbSize is a member of a structure that you set to the structure size before calling win32 api functions with it. For example:

struct foo
{
    unsigned int cbSize;
    // blabla
};

struct foo MyStruct;
MyStruct.cbSize = sizeof(struct foo);

>>But why they put a option with struct when they have a class?Where is advance?

win32 api is mostly written in C, not C++, so that they can be called by almost any computer language. The same functions are called by VB, assembly, C#, pascal, etc. This would not be possible if Microsoft had written the api functions in C++.
