Get int value of DWORD parameter

[TheDudeJuan]

Hi, I use the windows apis a lot and often I have to to give a parameter with the DWORD type. From my understanding the equivalent in c# is int... So when I have a parameter like "DWM_TNP_RECTDESTINATION" it's int value is 0x1. But I only know that since I found an example where they used the code. But now I have another parameter (DWMWA_EXTENDED_FRAME_BOUNDS) from the dwmapi.dll and I don't know how to get the int value since I can't find an example where it is used :S Isn't there an easier way to get the value instead of finding someone who knows? :P

$? :D

These values are generally stored in the C/C++ header files associated with the API. So you need to look up the tag in the MSDN documentation and at the bottom of the page there is usually a reference to the associated C++ header file (see this link[^]). Open this file (stored in the SDK directory) to fnd the values. This may mean that you will need to download the Windows SDK from Microsoft.

Google says its 9. Just type the symbol in the search box and read the first 20 excerpts. :)
