• Visual C++ Handles on a 64 bit OS

  From a MS white paper on 64 bit computing, it appears that a handle for a 64-bit application can be used by a 32 bit process. The document implies this by mentioning that a handle has 32 significant bits of data. Can someone confirm this The handles for some 64 bit test apps I have created all have only 32 significant bits so it appears to be safe to call HandleToLong so I can return a window handle to a 32 bit automation client to allow dr ...Show All

• Visual Basic Writing to a notepad

If the note pad already has messages, new messages should be entered after them, not in another new notepad I think you are confused.  Notepad is an application that reads and writes text files.  If you're talking about specifying a path then I'd say you mean a text file, ...Show All
