DOCERR: Use a Thread ID for CALLBACK_THREAD in WaveInOpen

 Last reviewed: May 10, 1996
Article ID: Q134336
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows NT, versions 3.1 and 3.5

Note: This docerr has been fixed in the Windows NT 4.0 beta docs.

The Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) Multimedia online Help documentation incorrectly states that a thread handle should be used for the dwCallback parameter of the WaveInOpen() function when its fdwOpen parameter is CALLBACK_THREAD. Instead, the dwCallback parameter should be a thread ID. The address of the thread ID is returned as the last parameter of the CreateThread()function, which is used when the thread is created.

This documentation error occurs in the following online Help files:
