MCI_BREAK
The MCI_BREAK command sets a break key for an MCI device. MCI supports this command
directly rather than passing it to the device. Any MCI application can use this
command.
MCIERROR mciSendCommand(MCIDEVICEID wDeviceID, MCI_BREAK,
DWORD dwFlags, (DWORD) (LPMCI_BREAK_PARMS) lpBreak);
Parameters
wDeviceID
Device identifier of the MCI device that is to receive the command message.
dwFlags
MCI_NOTIFY, MCI_WAIT, or, for digital-video and video-cassette recorder (VCR)
devices, MCI_TEST. For information about these flags, see The Wait, Notify, and Test Flags.
lpBreak
Address of an MCI_BREAK_PARMS structure.
Return Values
Returns zero if successful or an error otherwise.
Remarks
You might have to press the break key multiple times to interrupt a wait
operation. Pressing the break key after a device wait is canceled can send the break
to an application. If an application has an action defined for the virtual-key
code, then it can inadvertently respond to the break. For example, an
application using VK_CANCEL for an accelerator key can respond to the default CTRL+BREAK key if it is pressed after a wait is canceled.
The following additional flags apply to all devices:
MCI_BREAK_HWND
The hwndBreak member of the structure identified by lpBreak contains a window handle that must be the current window in order to enable
break detection for that MCI device. This is usually the application's main
window. If omitted, MCI does not check the window handle of the current window.
MCI_BREAK_KEY
The nVirtKey member of the structure identified by lpBreak specifies the virtual-key code used for the break key. By default, MCI
assigns CTRL+BREAK as the break key. This flag is required if MCI_BREAK_OFF is not specified.
MCI_BREAK_OFF
Disables any existing break key for the indicated device.

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. Net classes. More » |
