The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows NT, versions 3.1 and 3.5

Note: This docerr has been fixed in the Windows NT 4.0 beta docs.

The Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) Multimedia online Help documentation incorrectly states that a thread handle should be used for the dwCallback parameter of the WaveInOpen() function when its fdwOpen parameter is CALLBACK_THREAD. Instead, the dwCallback parameter should be a thread ID. The address of the thread ID is returned as the last parameter of the CreateThread()function, which is used when the thread is created.
