The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows versions 3.0, 3.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The nWidth and nHeight parameters to the CreateCompatibleBitmap function are
incorrectly documented on page 4-37 in the "Microsoft Windows Software
Development Kit Reference Volume 1" for version 3.0, and on page 79 of the
"Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Programmer's Reference, Volume 2:
Functions" for version 3.1.

The nWidth and nHeight parameters are expressed in pixels, not bits.

The documentation should read:

  Parameter     Type/Description
  ---------     ----------------
  hDC           HDC   Identifies the device context.

  nWidth        int   Specifies the width (in pixels) of the bitmap.

  nHeight       int   Specifies the height (in pixels) of the bitmap.
