WORD AllocSelector(wSelector)
This function allocates a new selector. If the wSelector parameter is a valid selector, AllocSelector returns a new selector which is an exact copy of the one specified by wSelector. If wSelector is NULL, AllocSelector returns a new, uninitialized selector.
The application must free the new selector by calling the FreeSelector function.
| Parameter | Type/Description |
| wSelector | WORD Specifies the selector to be copied, or NULL if AllocSelector is to allocate a new, uninitialized selector. |
The return value is either a selector that is a copy of an existing selector, or a new, un-initialized selector. If the function could not allocate a new selector, the return value is zero.
An application can call AllocSelector to allocate a selector that it can pass to the
ChangeSelector function.
An application should not use this function unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of this function violates preferred Windows programming practices.
