LocalHandle info  Overview  Group

The LocalHandle function retrieves the handle associated with the specified pointer to a local memory object.

HLOCAL LocalHandle(

Parameters

pMem

Points to the first byte of the local memory object. This pointer is returned by the LocalLock function.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is the handle of the specified local memory object.

If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

When the LocalAlloc function allocates a local memory object with the LMEM_MOVEABLE flag, it returns the handle of the object. The LocalLock function converts this handle into a pointer to the object’s memory block, and LocalHandle converts the pointer back into a handle.
