API (= Application-Programming-Interface) commands and types are often used in Delphi code. API's are always written in programming languages ​​other than Delphi and different types and routines are defined in different API's. Type definitions in different languages ​​and API's are standardized by conditional compilation and by use of the additional directives $HPPEMIT, $EXTERNALSYM, $NODEFINE and $NOINCLUDE. This often makes it difficult for the human reader to see what actually defines a type. Some examples shall be presented here.

 

BOOL

DWORD

PByte

THandle
