The MAKEWORD macro creates an unsigned 16-bit integer by concatenating two given unsigned character values.
WORD MAKEWORD(
| BYTE bLow, | // low-order byte of short value |
| BYTE bHigh | // high-order byte of short value |
| ); |
Parameters
bLow
Specifies the low-order byte of the new short value.
bHigh
Specifies the high-order byte of the new short value.
Return Values
The return value is an unsigned 16-bit integer value.
Remarks
The MAKEWORD macro is defined as follows:
#define MAKEWORD(a, b) \
((WORD) (((BYTE) (a)) | ((WORD) ((BYTE) (b))) << 8))
