Member	Description
IntPtr::IntPtr	Initializes a new instance of IntPtr.
IntPtr::op_explicit Operator	Converts the specified parameter to an IntPtr or a pointer to an IntPtr value.
IntPtr::ToInt32	Converts the current IntPtr to a 32-bit integer.

Requirements

Minimum supported client: Windows 8

Minimum supported server: Windows Server 2012

Namespace: Platform

Metadata: platform.winmd

IntPtr::IntPtr Constructor

Initializes a new instance of an IntPtr with the specified value.

Syntax

IntPtr( __int64 handle-or-pointer );   IntPtr( void* value );   IntPtr( int 32-bit_value );  

Parameters

value
A 64-bit handle or pointer, or a pointer to a 64-bit value, or a 32-bit value that can be converted to a 64-bit value.

IntPtr::op_explicit Operator

Converts the specified parameter to an IntPtr or a pointer to an IntPtr value.

Syntax

static IntPtr::operator IntPtr( void* value1);   static IntPtr::operator IntPtr( int value2);   static IntPtr::operator void*( IntPtr value3 );  

Parameters

value1
A pointer to a handle or IntPtr.

value2
An 32-bit integer that can be converted to an IntPtr.

value3
An IntPtr.

Return Value

The first and second operators return an IntPtr. The third operator returns a pointer to the value represented by the current IntPtr.

IntPtr::ToInt32 Method

Converts the current IntPtr value to a 32-bit integer.

Syntax

int32 IntPtr::ToInt32();  

Return Value

A 32-bit integer.
