how to make dword with high/low word or high/low byte

Assuminng the Win32 definition:

Dowrd make of Byte,

BYTE lsb = 0x11 ;

BYTE next_lsb = 0x22 :

BYTE next_msb = 0x33 :

BYTE msb = 0x44 :

DWORD dword_from_bytes = (msb << 24) | (next_msb << 16) | (next_lsb << 8) | lsb ;

dword_from_bytes will have the value 0x44332211.

WORD lsw = 0x1111 :
WORD msw = 0x2222 :

DWORD dword_from_words = (msw << 16) | lsw ;

dword_from_words will have the value 0x22221111.

To extract say the third byte from dword_from_bytes for example:

next_msb = (dword_from_bytes >> 16) & 0xff ;
