FindAtom

The FindAtom function searches the local atom table for the specified character string and retrieves the atom associated with that string.

ATOM FindAtom(

LPCTSTR lpString	// pointer to string to find
);

Parameters

lpString

Points to the null-terminated character string to search for.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is the atom associated with the given string.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Even though Windows preserves the case of a string in an atom table, the search performed by the FindAtom function is not case sensitive.
