Thanks for the info. I copied the parameters from one file to the other
but that didn't help. I should also mention that I get this warning for
every function in these files, not just one. Here two examples:

--- .h ---
/*!
        \file
        ...
*/
/*!     \brief Get the index of the notebook page icon.
        \param apBookCtrl: Parent to get image list from.
        \return Index of image list icon for parent.
*/
int GetIconIndex(const wxBookCtrlBase* apBookCtrl);

/*!     \brief Check if program is registered for automatic startup.
        \param pszAppName: Name of key to check in registry.
        \param pszAppPath: Path of application that should be in the key.
        \return True if application is correctly registered for startup.
*/
BOOL IsProgramRegisteredForStartup(PCWSTR pszAppName, PCWSTR pszAppPath);

--- .cpp ---
/*!
        \file
        ...
*/
/*!     Get index of image list icon for the notebook control page.
*/
int GetIconIndex(const wxBookCtrlBase* apBookCtrl)

/*!     Check if program is registered for automatic startup.
*/
BOOL IsProgramRegisteredForStartup(PCWSTR pszAppName, PCWSTR pszAppPath)


So I get the warning for wx-types as well as "standard"
MSVC types. That's why I don't think it's something with
the functions declaration/documentation but rather something
either concerning the files as a whole or doxygen settings.
I only got the warnings at all after setting SHOW_FILES
to YES. I'd have imagined that doxygen would parse these
files and print warnings even if the files are not quoted
in the documentation.

Thanks
