mysterious DWORD
Author
A commonly used variable type in directx structures is the dword, and in the directx header it is declared like this:
DWORD dwVariableName;
which is nice, only when I use this myself, sometimes it works fine but other times my compiler claims that the type DWORD doesn''t exist at all... where is the DWORD type declared?
it''s the same with the BOOL, but I''ve discovered that you can use bool in lower-case instead...
It''s in one of the files included by windows.h, probably winbase, windef, or wintypes.

It''s defined in one of the windows headers, I''m not sure which one specifically but including windows.h should add it. It''s an unsigned 32 bit integer.

A DWORD should just be typedef-ed as an unsigned long (32-bit integer). I''m guessing this is how it''s defined in Windows.h or wherever.
