Description
THandle is a general purpose data reference (handle).
For example, the SaveToClipboardFormat uses a THandle variable to hold a handle to the data of a bitmap. SetAsHandle can then be used to store the bitmap data, through its handle, to the clipboard.
Handles are used extensively in communication with Windows APIs.
