Converting from hwnd to string

[TerenceAgius]

I have this piece of code

$MapView = DllCall($hDll, [b]"str"[/b], "MapViewOfFile", _
                "hwnd", $hFile[0], _
                "dword", $FILE_MAP_WRITE, _
                "dword", 0, _
                "dword", 0, _
                "dword", 0)

Now "str" should be "hwnd" but if I do, I cannot read the returned string.

In Autoit, is there a manual conversion function which can "cast" or convert a variant into a string?

Take a look at it's all there...

Edit:

You also might want to take a look at excellent example ...

; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name...........: _WinAPI_MapViewOfFile
; Description....: Maps a view of a file mapping into the address space of a calling process.
; Syntax.........: _WinAPI_MapViewOfFile ( $hMapping [, $iOffset [, $iBytes [, $iAccess]]] )
; Parameters.....: $hMapping - Handle to a file mapping object. The _WinAPI_CreateFileMapping() and _WinAPI_OpenFileMapping()
;                            functions return this handle.
;                $iOffset - The file offset where the view is to begin.
;                $iBytes - The number of bytes of a file mapping to map to a view. All bytes must be within the maximum size
;                            specified by _WinAPI_CreateFileMapping(). If $iBytes is 0, the mapping extends from the specified
;                            offset to the end of the file mapping.
;                $iAccess - The access to the file mapping object. This parameter can be one of the following values.
;
;                            $FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS
;                            $FILE_MAP_COPY
;                            $FILE_MAP_READ
;                            $FILE_MAP_WRITE
;
;                            Each of the preceding values can be combined with the following value.
;
;                            $FILE_MAP_EXECUTE
;
; Return values..: Success - The starting address of the mapped view.
;                Failure - 0 and sets the @error flag to non-zero.
; Author.........: Yashied
; Modified.......:
; Remarks........: For files that are larger than the address space, you can only map a small portion of the file data at one time.
;                When the first view is complete, then you unmap it and map a new view.
