Pointer Name Control

You can control the type and name of the pointer (if any) used when each child object of the top-level window is created. Controlling how pointers are used is done by adjusting the basic properties, using the properties dialog, for each child control. There are four types of pointers used by Window Builder during code generation: Member pointers, Automatic Named pointers, Automatic Temporary pointers, and Implicit pointers. We will describe each type below and describe how you can control the use of pointers in the generated source code.
