Translating C++ variable types to AutoIt types when using DllCall

Using DllCall in AutoIt given you enormous power to extend the functionality of AutoIt. It allows you to implement almost everyting in AutoIt that you can implement in C++.
However, one of the most difficult things when working with DllCall is to know how to type the variables that you pass to DllCall.
The table below show how to convert C++ and Windows API types to AutoIt types:\

| C++ | AutoIt |
| LPCSTR LPSTR | str |
| LPCWSTR LPWSTR | wstr |
| LPVOID | ptr |
| LPxyz | xyz* |
| HINSTANCE | handle |
| HRESULT | long |
| LONGLONG LARGE_INTEGER | INT64 |
| ULONGLONG ULARGE_INTEGER | UINT64 |
| SIZE_T | ULONG_PTR |
| wchar_t | str* |
| PBYTE | struct* (pointer to a struct created with StructCreate(byte[xxx]) ) |
| NCRYPT_PROV_HANDLE | handle |
| &NCRYPT_PROV_HANDLE | handle* |
| LPCWSTR wchar_t | wstr* |
