Windows API Reference - Attributes

Introduction

The Windows API Attributes provide metadata about the structure and type of data stored within a Windows API object. Understanding these attributes is crucial for efficient API usage and debugging.

Attribute Types

There are several types of attributes, each with specific purposes:

Type: Describes the data type of the attribute (e.g., ‘string’, ‘integer’, ‘double’).
Value: The actual data value of the attribute.
Example: An illustration of the data value.

Common Attributes

Here are some common attributes and their meanings:

'Name': The name of the attribute.
'Value': The value associated with the attribute.
'Type': The data type of the attribute's value.
'Example': An example showing the value.
'Description': A description of the attribute.

How to Use

You can access attribute values using dot notation (e.g., 'MyAttribute.Value') or bracket notation (e.g., 'MyAttribute[0]').

Example

Here's an example illustrating attribute usage:

            
                // Create a Window
                var window = new Window();

                // Set Attribute
                window.Name = "ExampleWindow";
                window.Value = 12345;

                // Access Attribute
                var nameValue = window.Name;
                console.log("Name:", nameValue);  // Output: Name: ExampleWindow

                // More complex example with multiple attributes
                var obj = new Object();
                obj.Attribute1 = 'StringValue';
                obj.Attribute2 = 'IntegerValue';
                console.log("Object attributes:", obj);
