An IntPtr is a pointer to a memory location (unmanaged) that adapts to the platform it is running on (64-bit, etc.) UNLIKE a standard int/Integer. You should always use this type for unmanaged calls that require it, even though an int will appear to work on your development machine.

A HandleRef is essentially an IntPtr to a handle and a reference to the object the handle belongs to. Using HandleRef prevents the GC from collecting the object until the native method is done with it.

ByRef is a VB keyword that specifies a variable to be passed as a parameter BY REFERENCE. In other words, the pointer to the variable is passed and any change to its value made within the function or sub will change its value outside the function/sub.

The RECT structure defines the coordinates of the upper-left and lower-right corners of a rectangle.
