CallbackDeviceChangeSet method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Sets a callback for receiving notification whenever the system default multimedia input/output device (sound card) is changed through the Windows Control Panel's multimedia settings or when a new USB device is plugged or unplugged.

 

This method is only intended for usage with Windows XP and earlier versions. When dealing with Windows Vista and higher versions it's recommended using the CallbackForCoreAudioEvents callback.

 

For further details about callback delegates see the How to synchronize the container application with the API tutorial.

 

 

Syntax

 

[Visual Basic]

Public Function CallbackDeviceChangeSet (

function as CallbackDeviceChange

) as enumErrorCodes


 

[C#]

public enumErrorCodes CallbackDeviceChangeSet (

CallbackDeviceChange function

);


 

[C++]

public: enumErrorCodes CallbackDeviceChangeSet (

CallbackDeviceChange function

);


 

 

Parameter

Description

 

 

function

Pointer to the callback function that will receive the event. Remember that callback functions must be as fast as possible in order to avoid slowing down overall performances.

 

 

when using the API from Unmanaged C++ through COM interaction, where the client application is totally unaware about .NET delegates, you should use the "Ptr" version of the method which allows passing the pointer to the callback function:

 

[Unmanaged C++]

enumErrorCodes CallbackDeviceChangeSetPtr (

(UINT_PTR) functionPointer

);


 

Parameter

Description

 

 

functionPointer

Pointer to the callback function.

See the Adding the API to an unmanaged Visual C++ project tutorial for details about usage of the "Ptr" version of these methods.

 

Return value

 

Value

Meaning

 

 

Negative value

An error occurred. Check the LastError property value in order to see the last error.

enumErrorCodes.ERR_NOERROR (0)

The method call was successful.
