The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1

The "y" member of the WINDOWPOS structure is documented incorrectly on page 424 of the Microsoft Windows version 3.1 Software Development Kit (SDK) "Programmer's Reference, Volume 3: Messages, Structures, and Macros" manual. It is also documented incorrectly in the online help files.

The y member specifies the position of the top edge of the window, not the right edge. The "Members" portion of the documentation should state the following for the y parameter: 

   y
     Specifies the position of the top edge of the window.
