SUMMARY
=======

This article corrects a documentation error for the SetWindowPos function call
as described in the Microsoft Visual Basic on-line help file (WIN31API.HLP) that
shipped with Microsoft Visual Basic version 3.0 for Windows. In Example 1 for
the hWnd property, if you run the code example, the following error message
displays:

  Bad DLL calling convention

MORE INFORMATION
================

The declaration is incorrectly documented as the following:

  Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "User" (ByVal h1 As Integer,
                                       ByVal h2 As Integer,
                                       ByVal x As Integer,
                                       ByVal y As Integer,
                                       ByVal cx As Integer,
                                       ByVal cy As Integer,
                                       ByVal f As Long)

The correct declaration is as follows:

  Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "User" (ByVal h1 As Integer,
                                       ByVal h2 As Integer,
                                       ByVal x As Integer,
                                       ByVal y As Integer,
                                       ByVal cx As Integer,
                                       ByVal cy As Integer,
                                       ByVal f As Integer)

NOTE: Each Declare statement must be entered as one, single line.

Please note that the last parameter (ByVal f As Long) is incorrectly defined as
Long. It should be defined as Integer.
