DriverCallback - Win32 Multimedia Programmer's Reference

Custom Search

DriverCallback

Calls a callback function, sends a message to a window, or unblocks a thread. The action depends on the value of the notification flag. This function is intended to be used only within the DriverProc function of an installable driver.

BOOLEAN DriverCallback(DWORD dwCallBack, DWORD dwFlags, HDRVR hdrvr,
DWORD msg, DWORD dwUser, DWORD dwParam1, DWORD dwParam2);

Parameters
dwCallBack

Address of the callback function, a window handle, or a task handle, depending on the flag specified in the dwFlags parameter.

dwFlags

Notification flags. It can be one of these values:

DCB_NOSWITCH	The system is prevented from switching stacks. This value is only used if enough stack space for the callback function is known to exist.
DCB_FUNCTION	The dwCallback parameter is the address of an application-defined callback function. The system sends the callback message to the callback function.
DCB_WINDOW	The dwCallback parameter is the handle of an application-defined window. The system sends subsequent notifications to the window.
DCB_TASK	The dwCallback parameter is the handle of an application or task. The system sends subsequent notifications to the application or task.

hdrvr

Handle of the installable driver instance.

msg

Message value.

dwUser

32-bit user-instance data supplied by the application when the device was opened.

dwParam1 and dwParam2

32-bit message-dependent parameter.

Return Value
Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE if a parameter is invalid or the task's message queue is full.

Remarks
The client specifies how to notify it when the device is opened. The DCB_FUNCTION and DCB_WINDOW flags are equivalent to the high-order word of the corresponding flags CALLBACK_FUNCTION and CALLBACK_WINDOW specified in the lParam2 parameter of the DRV_OPEN message when the device was opened.

If notification is accomplished with a callback function, hdrvr, msg, dwUser, dwParam1, and dwParam2 are passed to the callback function. If notification is accomplished by means of a window, only msg, hdrvr, and dwParam1 are passed to the window.

    Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native.
