----------------------------------------------------------- From: J.K. Message 9 in Discussion To add to what roshan said, I remember reading somewhere that the hungarian notation was only used in the application software division at Microsoft. The OS division did not use it. I don't know for myself if this is true... Personally, way back in 1991 I was taught to use a m prefix to distinguish between a memory variable and a database field name when using dBase / Clipper. Currently I prefer to use a m_ for a control value and a mc_ for a control variable. :-). I tend to restrict myself to that.

" :)) well once upon a time hungarian notation was invented to solve a problem ... i do find somethings very nice in hungarian, especially semantic prefixes like prefixing cb- for a variable that indicates the size of something in terms of bytes (cb - count of bytes) and similarly n- to prefix something that gives a count indication. while all these could have been simply prefixed as i- or d- for integer , semantic prefixes are rather beautiful. for the record teh hungarian notation evolved in microsoft from professor charles imonyi style of notation and he was from hungary. this is prof simonyi's origianl work republished at msdnaa : http://www.msdnaa.net/Resources/Display.aspx?ResID=1804 rosh View other groups in this category.
