+This example demonstrates how to wrap the Windows ``MessageBoxW`` function so
that it supports default parameters and named arguments. The C declaration from
the windows header file is this::
WINUSERAPI int WINAPI
- MessageBoxA(
+ MessageBoxW(
HWND hWnd,
- LPCSTR lpText,
- LPCSTR lpCaption,
+ LPCWSTR lpText,
+ LPCWSTR lpCaption,
UINT uType);
Here is the wrapping with :mod:`ctypes`::
>>> from ctypes import c_int, WINFUNCTYPE, windll
- >>> from ctypes.wintypes import HWND, LPCSTR, UINT
- >>> prototype = WINFUNCTYPE(c_int, HWND, LPCSTR, LPCSTR, UINT)
- >>> paramflags = (1, "hwnd", 0), (1, "text", "Hi"), (1, "caption", None), (1, "flags", 0)
- >>> MessageBox = prototype(("MessageBoxA", windll.user32), paramflags)
- >>>

A second example demonstrates output parameters. The win32 ``GetWindowRect``
function retrieves the dimensions of a specified window by copying them into
