I have in some documentation for a plugin for Dreamweaver I am making that says the following:

void **connectionData

• The connectionData argument is a
handle to the data that the agent
wants Dreamweaver to pass to it when
calling other API functions.

I have no other information than this from the manual in regard to connectionData. Thinking literally, I figured handle refered to a generic handle,however I am not able to find documentation on working with generic handles in regard to C. 

HANDLE h = connectionData;

Does compile in my code. How exactly do I get the “secrets” inside this data structure/can someone explain how generic handles for C work?

    Well, usually you are not supposed to get the secrets of handles; they are usually just a pointer to some internal structure inside the lib/API you are using and only the lib will know how to use it.

    There is no generic rules or anything about handles, you’ll have to use them as indicated by your lib’s docs.
