Hi all,

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't
find any reference to it in my archives.

I'm calling a Windows API function which requires
a DWORD flag. This, I believe, is represented
as a 32-bit unsigned integer. I want to pass
to this parameter the value:

  decimal: 2147483647
  hex: 0x80000000

In Component Pascal, do I declare this parameter
as an INTEGER? SET? And what value do I pass to
it, since this value is outside the range of a
32-bit signed integer?

Thanks,

Marc
