^^^ BTW: The full set seems to be define dint here but there are quite a lot so I only copy/pasted the one you specifically mentioned.<br />
<br />
NB. I am not convinced that these are necessarily typedefs in older versions of of Visual Studio (if memory serves, I think they are macros), but since I only have VS2005 to hand I cannot check for sure.

I have seen a lot of type LPSTR(and other like LPCSTR, etc) when coding using MFC.<br />
<br />
I just know it is equivalent to char*, but what LPSTR exactly is?<br />
(ie, is it a native type in C++, or a macro in C++, or a typedef in C++, or...)<br />

About LPSTR

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.

System Programming

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
