Hi,

I would like to know if the record WIN32_FIND_DATA used in FindFirstFile
and FindNextFile API functions is declared in a Delphi unit and if so, in
which? And, while we're at it, is HANDLE a declared type in Delphi, in some
unit? I thought it would be in Windows (WinTypes), but the compiler doesn't
recognizes this type. Please understand that I have Delphi Desktop, so I
don't have the sources of the Delphi units (biggest computer-related error
of my life -- watch me when D3 comes out!).

Thanks for the help and please reply by e-mail.

The type THandle (note the T) is also declared in Windows.

I believe that there is a type HWnd, which is used to store Handles.

As far as for the Win32_find_data record, it is defined in Delphi as:

  TWin32FindDataA = record
    dwFileAttributes: DWORD;
    ftCreationTime: TFileTime;
    ftLastAccessTime: TFileTime;
    ftLastWriteTime: TFileTime;
    nFileSizeHigh: DWORD;
    nFileSizeLow: DWORD;
    dwReserved0: DWORD;
    dwReserved1: DWORD;
    cFileName: array[0..MAX_PATH - 1] of AnsiChar;
    cAlternateFileName: array[0..13] of AnsiChar;
  end;
  TWin32FindDataW = record
    dwFileAttributes: DWORD;
    ftCreationTime: TFileTime;
    ftLastAccessTime: TFileTime;
    ftLastWriteTime: TFileTime;
    nFileSizeHigh: DWORD;
    nFileSizeLow: DWORD;
    dwReserved0: DWORD;
    dwReserved1: DWORD;
    cFileName: array[0..MAX_PATH - 1] of WideChar;
    cAlternateFileName: array[0..13] of WideChar;
  end;
  TWin32FindData = TWin32FindDataA;

The *A record is for short strings, the *W record is for long strings.
But, it's there for use. :)

BTW, you can buy the source from Borland, if you can't wait for D3.
But, sounds like you already realize how helpful it is to have the
source handy. :)

A good hint to finding the equivalents of C/C++ Win SDK types in
Delphi is to remove all underlines, capitalize only each part of
the identifier, and stick a T in front of it.

Constants are typically named the same.
