## DPLPROPERTY_PlayerGuid

A GUID used to uniquely identify the application's local players. Any further DPLMSG_SETPROPERTY or DPLMSG_GETPROPERTY messages that require a player GUID will need to use this value to communicate with the lobby.

An application can manipulate properties for remote players on another computer. The application only needs to obtain the player GUID from the remote player (not from the lobby).

If an application supports spectator players, it should request this property before creating any players in order to determine what flags (if any) to use when creating the players; for example, DPPLAYER_SPECTATOR and DPPLAYER_SERVERPLAYER.

For this property, the dwPropertyData field of the DPLMSG_GETPROPERTYRESPONSE structure will contain the following:

    typedef struct {
        GUID  guidPlayer;
        DWORD dwPlayerFlags;
    } DPLDATA_PLAYERGUID, FAR *LPDPLDATA_PLAYERGUID;
