C-C++ Code Example: Reading Messages Synchronously

 

Applies To: Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server Technical Preview, Windows Vista

The following example provides an application-defined function that synchronously reads each message in a known queue, removing each message as it is read.

For information about reading messages synchronously, see Synchronous Reading.

To read messages synchronously

  1. Define the maximum number of queue properties to be specified and the queue property counter.

  2. Define an MQMSGPROPS structure.

  3. Specify the message properties to retrieve. This example retrieves PROPID_M_LABEL, PROPID_M_LABEL_LEN, PROPID_M_BODY, PROPID_M_BODY_SIZE, and PROPID_M_BODY_TYPE.

Note

The maximum label length, including the string-terminating character, is MQ_MAX_MSG_LABEL_LEN (250 Unicode characters). This value must be reset for each message.

  1. Initialize the MQMSGPROPS structure.

  2. Create the format name of the queue. This format name is used to open the queue. Note that the input strings used to create the format name are validated in this function, but it is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that these strings are null-terminated.

  3. Call MQOpenQueue to open the queue with receive access. Receive access allows the application to peek at or remove the messages in the queue.

  4. In a loop, call MQReceiveMessage to retrieve the messages in the queue. If the body buffer is too small for any of the messages, reallocate memory for it.

  5. Call MQCloseQueue and free the resources.

Code Example

The following code example can be run on all versions of Message Queuing.
