DOCERR: DdeCreateDataHandle Documentation Errors

The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1
- Microsoft Win32 SDK, version 3.1
The documentation for the cbInitData and offSrcBuf parameters to the DdeCreateDataHandle function are incorrect. Here is the description given for these two parameters in the current documentation:
cbInitData Specifies the amount, in bytes, of memory to allocate for
the global memory object. If this parameter is zero, the
lpvSrcBuf parameter is ignored.
offSrcBuf Specifies an offset, in bytes, from the beginning of the
buffer pointed to by the lpvSrcBuf parameter. The data
beginning at this offset is copied from the buffer to the
global memory object.
These parameters should be documented as follows:
cbInitData Specifies the amount, in bytes, of memory to copy from
the source buffer specified by lpvSrcBuf.
offTargetBuf Specifies an offset, in bytes, from the beginning of the
global memory object* allocated by DdeCreateDataHandle.
Data from the source buffer is copied to the global
memory object, beginning at this offset.
*The size of the global memory object allocated by
DdeCreateDataHandle is equal to the sum of cbInitData and
offTargetBuf.
