What is translated > Types > API Integration > DWORD
DWORD is an example for the API integration. DWORD is defined in Winapi,Windows.pas as:
DWORD = System.Types.DWORD;
{$EXTERNALSYM DWORD}
and in System.Types.pas it is defined as:
DWORD = FixedUInt;
{$EXTERNALSYM DWORD}
Because in both cases the EXTERNALSYM directive is applied, these definitions are ignored and DWORD simply remains DWORD at the translation to C++. Indeed DWORD is defined in the Windows API in minwindef.h as:
typedef unsigned long DWORD;
It's not necessary to know, that FixedUInt is defined in System.pas for Windows as
FixedUInt = LongWord;
In the type-map you can see:
