@kas ob:
ehmm... with
self, I mean
not the Delphi keyword in Context of Classes/Records.
with self, I mean the internal working Design of Microsoft Windows.
Like himitsu said - it could be for "self" managed Code (
COM+).
And I can bet, that Microsoft have a secret Layer'ed File with Numbers (I pointed: 2 ^64 = 18 Trillion GiBytes dataflow. So, each managed Type becomes a (
GUID) Number, and as such, all the Component(s) are different and can directly accessed. Instead to use String like in Delphi, and C++ Builder Debug Symbols.
In older Window's, the
DLL Functions could be called by Value, and Name.
