Chapter 3 Function Directory

This chapter contains an alphabetical list of the functions in the Multimedia extensions to Windows. For information about standard Windows functions, see the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Reference—Volume 1.

For each function, this chapter lists the following items:

The syntax for the function

The purpose of the function

A description of input parameters

A description of return values

Optional comments on using the function

Optional cross references to other functions, messages, and data structures

This chapter also lists the macros defined with the Multimedia extensions. Macros are documented similarly to functions. Each description begins by identifying the routine as a function or a macro (For example, This function... or This macro...).
