DOCERR: DeviceCapabilitiesEx Not Implemented in Windows NT 3.1 PSS ID Number: Q110702 Article last modified on 04-23-1994

3.10

WINDOWS NT

The “Win32 Help” help file correctly states the following about DeviceCapabilitiesEx:

The DeviceCapabilitiesEx function is not implemented for the first release of Windows NT. It is exported, so that applications based on pre-release versions of Windows NT will load, but nothing happens when it is called. Applications should use the DeviceCapabilities function.

However, the hard copy documentation gives the complete specification for this function, as if it were already implemented. This is a documentation error in the Win32 Programmer s Reference.

NOTE: The Microsoft Developer’s Network (MSDN) CD includes these manuals, including this mistake, as well. The help files are generally more up to date because the printed materials must be completed at an earlier date than the help files.
