SUMMARY
=======
The online help (DK_DOC.HLP or DK_DOC.MVB) in the Microsoft Video for Windows DK
incorrectly documents the ICM_DECOMPRESSEX_QUERY message. The incorrect
documentation states the following:
dwParam1 - Specifies a far pointer to an ICDECOMPRESSEX data structure
describing the input format.
dwParam2 - Specifies zero or a far pointer to an ICDECOMPRESSEX data
structure used to return the output format. Zero indicates that any output
format is acceptable.
The correct documentation for this message is listed below:
dwParam1 - Specifies zero or a far pointer to an ICDECOMPRESSEX data
structure used to return the output format. Zero indicates that any output
format is acceptable.
dwParam2 - Contains the size in bytes of the structure pointed to by
dwParam1.
The ICSAMPLE sample code from the Microsoft Video for Windows DK correctly
handles the ICM_DECOMPRESSEX_QUERY message.
NOTE: The similarly named ICM_DECOMPRESS_QUERY message is documented correctly.
