[PyKDE] Passing a type through SIP

[James Lamanna]

Ok I see what you mean about SIP needing to know the type.

Here's exactly what I'm trying to do:
I've compiled Qt for windows under the GPL license using the work from
the kde-cygwin project.
QWidget::create()'s first argument is of type WId.
This is typedefed in qwindowdefs_win.h as a HWND.
I _believe_ HWND is an unsigned long, but if I typedef WId to this, I
get compile errors saying that i either need a c-style cast or
reinterpret cast to convert the unsigned long to a HWND in all of the
sip generated .cpp files.

I hope this helps you understand the problem better.

Thanks.
