Question

Am I safe in casting a C++ bool to a Windows API BOOL via this construct

bool mybool = true; BOOL apiboolean = mybool ? TRUE : FALSE; 

I’d assume this is a yes because I don’t see any obvious problems but I wanted to take a moment to ask only because this may be more subtle than it appears.

Thanks to Dima for (gently) pointing out my carelessness in the way I’d originally phrased the question.

Answer 1

Do you mean

 bool b; ... BOOL apiboolean = b ? TRUE : FALSE; 

If so, then yes, this will work.
