Notes

Type is one of the HandleType class constants and Handle is the appropriate handle type specified by the Type parameter. Use one of the following class constants:

Class Constant	Description
HandleTypeWin32Handle	A Windows 32 OS handle.
HandleTypeFilePointer	A file pointer.
HandleTypeFileNumber	A file descriptor.
HandleTypeMacFileRefNum	A file reference number
