GlobalLock The GlobalLock function locks a global memory object and returns a pointer to the first byte of the object's memory block. Note The global functions are slower than other memory management functions and do not provide as many features. Therefore, new applications should use the heap functions. However, the global functions are still used with DDE and the clipboard functions.
