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 &quot;Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Reference Volume 1&quot; for version 3.0, and on page 79 of the &quot;Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Programmer's Reference, Volume 2: Functions&quot; 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. Additional query words: 3.00 3.10 docerr
