Menus in WinAPI: Do I use LPARAM or WPARAM for WM_COMMAND?

I've recently started teaching myself WinAPI, so bear with me here.

Compiler: TDM-GCC 4.9.2
OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit

I've recently learned how to create menus using resources. In regards to that, I've noticed something odd about handling the WM_COMMAND message for menus. The MSDN documentation tells me that if I want to handle a message sent from a menu, the command item ID can be found in the low word of WPARAM; so I assumed that the code in my window procedure would look like this:

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, LPARAM lParam, WPARAM wParam)
{
    switch (msg)
    {
    case WM_COMMAND:
        switch (LOWORD(wParam))  //<--
        {
        case /*IDs go here*/:

            break;
        }
        break;

    //...
    }

    return 0;
}

However, I noticed that the command items in the menu weren't working. After some debugging, I figured out that wParam was always 0 and my IDs were actually in lParam! I made the quick change to the following code:

switch (lParam)
{
case /*IDs go here*/:

    break;
}

And it works!

My question: why?
How come the documentation says it's in wParam when for me it's in lParam?

Also, here are my resource.rc and resource.h files in case it helps:

"resource.h":

#define IDR_MYMENU 101

//These are appearing in LPARAM instead of WPARAM
#define ID_FILE_EXIT 9001
#define ID_STUFF_GO  9002

"resource.rc":

#include "resource.h"

IDR_MYMENU MENU
BEGIN
    POPUP "&File"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "E&xit", ID_FILE_EXIT
    END

    POPUP "&Stuff"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "&Go", ID_STUFF_GO
        MENUITEM "G&o somewhere else", 0, GRAYED
    END
END

SOLVED. My window procedure had the wrong signature. Can't believe it was something so trivial! Thanks, cremno!

The WPARAM and LPARAM parameter are not in the correct order in your code:

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, LPARAM lParam, WPARAM wParam)

From the WindowProc callback function MSDN documentation:

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(
  _In_ HWND   hwnd,
  _In_ UINT   uMsg,
  _In_ WPARAM wParam,
  _In_ LPARAM lParam
);

Just swap them to fix your code:

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
