Guid: Handle (get)

Handle

Returns a pointer to the internal GUID structure.

 Public Property Get Handle ( ) As Long

Long - A long containing the pointer to the structure.

This is provided to allow for APIs to access the actual guid structure directly, since they expect to be accessing a structure, not an object.

Guid style APIs declare the guid parameter something like

ByRef g As VBGUID

In order to use the VBCorLib Guid then the API would need to be declared something like

ByVal ptrG As Long

and pass in the Handle to the guid object.

Exposing the handle is very dangerous in that the object is not immutable.

Read Only.
