DOCERR: SetWindowPos Declaration Incorrect in On-Line Help

Last reviewed: February 7, 1996
Article ID: Q143428

The information in this article applies to:

- Professional Edition of Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

This article corrects a documentation error for the SetWindowPos function call as described in the Microsoft Visual Basic on-line help file (WIN31API.HLP) that shipped with Microsoft Visual Basic version 3.0 for Windows. In Example 1 for the hWnd property, if you run the code example, the following error message displays:

        Bad DLL calling convention

MORE INFORMATION

The declaration is incorrectly documented as the following:

Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "User" (ByVal h1 As Integer,
                                     ByVal h2 As Integer,
                                     ByVal x As Integer,
                                     ByVal y As Integer,
                                     ByVal cx As Integer,
                                     ByVal cy As Integer,
                                     ByVal f As Long)

The correct declaration is as follows:

Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "User" (ByVal h1 As Integer,
                                     ByVal h2 As Integer,
                                     ByVal x As Integer,
                                     ByVal y As Integer,
                                     ByVal cx As Integer,
                                     ByVal cy As Integer,
                                     ByVal f As Integer)

NOTE: Each Declare statement must be entered as one, single line.

Please note that the last parameter (ByVal f As Long) is incorrectly defined as Long. It should be defined as Integer.
