3.00 3.10 WINDOWS kbprg kbdocerr

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows versions 3.0, 3.1

SUMMARY

The nWidth and nHeight parameters to the CreateCompatibleBitmap function are incorrectly documented on page 4-37 in the "Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Reference Volume 1" for version 3.0, and on page 79 of the "Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Programmer's Reference, Volume 2: Functions" for version 3.1.

The nWidth and nHeight parameters are expressed in pixels, not bits.

The documentation should read:


   Parameter     Type/Description
   ---------     ----------------
   hDC           HDC   Identifies the device context.

   nWidth        int   Specifies the width (in pixels) of the bitmap.

   nHeight       int   Specifies the height (in pixels) of the bitmap.
