DOCERR: DdeCreateDataHandle Documentation Errors

ID: Q109131

3.10    | 3.10

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.

   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.
