Splitting a DWORD into 24 bit and 8 bit values....

Pssst! 'Please do not post programming questions in the lounge' Have you tried the C forum? :)

Oh dear, it's too early in the morning for me to even get my forum protocol right. sorrry folks!

This should be pretty easy, right? I'm feeling pretty brain dead right now, though... In CTreeCtrl the nodes have a DWORD data item and I want to make use of that as a 24 bit value and an 8 bit value. What would be a nice way of getting and setting the DWORD from two other variables? Thanks, Ben.
Please don't split into the wind! :rolleyes:

I know it's early but you should probably don a fireproof jacket - just in case...!! (Or maybe just post in the C++ forum)

The problem you've got here is that you were trying to split the DWORD using a mouldy old leaf. You really need something like a bandsaw to split that DWORD neatly.
I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be

As with questons on CP, you have to know where to put which bits.
