DOCERR: Docs for PWB Extension Functions Have Errors/Omissions (72067)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS 1.0
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS 1.1
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2 1.0
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2 1.1
This article was previously published under Q72067 SUMMARY
Pages 180, 181, and 182 of the C version 6.00 and 6.00a "Advanced
Programming Techniques" manual (APT) contain a table of Programmer's
WorkBench (PWB) functions that can be called from a PWB extension.
This list contains several errors, documenting functions that are not
implemented and omitting documentation for some functions that are
implemented.
The online help that comes with C versions 6.00 and 6.00a also
documents some functions incorrectly.
MORE INFORMATION

KbHook() Restore keyboard control to PWB
KbUnHook() Remove keyboard control from PWB
The following function is listed in "Advanced Programming Techniques,"
is documented in the online help and prototyped in EXT.H, but is not
implemented in EXPSUP.LIB:
GetListEntry() Get Item from List
The following function is listed in "Advanced Programming Techniques,"
is documented in the online help and implemented in EXPSUP.LIB, but is

flagType fCase, flagType fWrap, char _far *pattern,
fl *pflStart );
