I can read some C but this one has me baffled. Hopefully this is an easy one for the all of the C experts out there.

I'm trying to convert a particular lParam parameter of a SendMessage command from C to AutoHotkey. In C, the parameter is written as follows:

(LPARAM)&pt

For example:

SendMessage(m_hWnd, LVM_SETITEMPOSITION32, nItem, (LPARAM)&pt)

I know that &pt is a pointer to a POINT structure but what the heck is the "(LPARAM)" part?

This exact parameter syntax is not unique to a single C program. I found it repeated in hundreds of programs.

Thanks in advance for your help.

(LPARAM) is just keeping the C compiler happy. Just send the &pt.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks.
