{{{ Hello again Derek,

Could you change this in Win32lib?

make [window_handle] a global sequence

controls global sequence window_handle hwnd of controls

sequence window_handle_type, Type of handle window_destroyed, true if destroyed etc...etc

{{{ I dont understand Derek,

I'll just continue to make the change to Win32lib on my own and for those who want to gain a bit of speed set window_handle as global so you can use the [internal] Win32lib sequence like this:

ListLV = create(ListView, "",hWnd, x1, y1,x2, y2, flags) hListLV window_handle[ListLV] later when messages are needed to be sent VOID = w32Func( xSendMessage, {hListLV, etc..etc

instead of having to process hundreds of lines in Win32lib trying to send a simple message.

Im not saying you arent right Derek about good programming practice but when speed counts and it does, why not use something Win32lib [internally] uses on a regular basis. Are you saying we arent smart enough to use this sequence? never mind, just on a soapbox...

/me shivers in horror at the unknown. That is so far from puts(). Any chance 
the function names can be friendly words we all know and love?

Derek, I'm struck with awe at your comments. You know full well that it
would be "output_the_sequence()," you defiler of truth! (Hey, keep up the
otherwise good work.) :P

Touche... However, the following is much louder:

puts
      Syntax: puts(fn, x)
      Description: Output, to file or device fn, a single byte (atom) or
sequence of bytes. The low order 8-bits of each value is actually sent out.
If fn is the screen you will see text characters displayed.
      Comments: When you output a sequence of bytes it must not have any
(sub)sequences within it. It must be a sequence of atoms only. (Typically a
string of ASCII codes).
      Avoid outputting 0's to the screen or to standard output. Your output
may get truncated.

      Example 1:
     puts(SCREEN, "Enter your first name: ")


      Example 2:
     puts(output, 'A')  -- the single byte 65 will be sent to output


      See Also: printf, gets, open


However, the docs also say this:

      puts - output a string sequence to a file or device


A string sequence?! Rob!! That must be a typo.

Thank you for giving me something to support.

JBrown,

Do you really think I didn't understand?

Written about as much or more API than Win32lib has in it..
