midiInOpen

The midiInOpen function opens a specified MIDI input device.

MMRESULT midiInOpen(

LPHMIDIIN lphMidiIn,

UINT uDeviceID,

DWORD dwCallback,

DWORD dwCallbackInstance,

DWORD dwFlags

);

Parameters

lphMidiIn

Address of an HMIDIIN handle. This location is filled with a handle identifying the opened MIDI input device. The handle is used to identify the device in calls to other MIDI input functions.

uDeviceID

Identifier of the MIDI input device to be opened.

dwCallback

Address of a callback function, a thread identifier, or a handle of a window called with information about incoming MIDI messages. For more information on the callback function, see MidiInProc.

dwCallbackInstance

User instance data passed to the callback function. This parameter is not used with window callback functions or threads.

dwFlags

Callback flag for opening the device and, optionally, a status flag that helps regulate rapid data transfers. It can be the following values:

CALLBACK_FUNCTION

The dwCallback parameter is a callback procedure address.

CALLBACK_NULL

There is no callback mechanism. This value is the default setting.

CALLBACK_THREAD

The dwCallback parameter is a thread identifier.

CALLBACK_WINDOW

The dwCallback parameter is a window handle.

MIDI_IO_STATUS

When this parameter also specifies CALLBACK_FUNCTION, MIM_MOREDATA messages are sent to the callback function as well as MIM_DATA messages. Or, if this parameter also specifies CALLBACK_WINDOW, MM_MIM_MOREDATA messages are sent to the window as well as MM_MIM_DATA messages. This flag does not affect event or thread callbacks.

Most applications that use a callback mechanism will specify CALLBACK_FUNCTION for this parameter.

Return Values

Returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR if successful or an error otherwise. Possible error values include the following:

MMSYSERR_ALLOCATED
The specified resource is already allocated.
MMSYSERR_BADDEVICEID
The specified device identifier is out of range.
MMSYSERR_INVALFLAG
The flags specified by dwFlags are invalid.
MMSYSERR_INVALPARAM
The specified pointer or structure is invalid.
MMSYSERR_NOMEM
The system is unable to allocate or lock memory.

Remarks

To determine the number of MIDI input devices present in the system, use the midiInGetNumDevs function. The device identifier specified by wDeviceID varies from zero to one less than the number of devices present.

If a window or thread is chosen to receive callback information, the following messages are sent to the window procedure or thread to indicate the progress of MIDI input: MM_MIM_OPEN, MM_MIM_CLOSE, MM_MIM_DATA, MM_MIM_LONGDATA, MM_MIM_ERROR, MM_MIM_LONGERROR, and MM_MIM_MOREDATA.

If a function is chosen to receive callback information, the following messages are sent to the function to indicate the progress of MIDI input: MIM_OPEN, MIM_CLOSE, MIM_DATA, MIM_LONGDATA, MIM_ERROR, MIM_LONGERROR, and MIM_MOREDATA.

Nostalgia .Net     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.
