EXPERTCONFIG

  • Article

The EXPERTCONFIG structure contains the configuration data of the expert. The expert overlays the RawConfigData member with an expert-specific structure.

typedef struct {
  DWORD RawConfigLength;
  BYTE RawConfigData[];
} EXPERTCONFIG, 
 *PEXPERTCONFIG;

Members

  • RawConfigLength
    Total length of the structure, including the four bytes used for the member. Network Monitor uses the value when the structure is saved-to and read-from a disk drive.

  • RawConfigData
    Configuration data. The expert must add the configuration data. For example, suppose that you had a data structure that looked like this.

    typedef struct
{
    DWORD       RawConfigLength;   // Overlay of structure
    DWORD       PickNumEvents;
    DWORD       NumEventsSpecific;
    DWORD       PickSpeedThroughCapture;
    DWORD       PickStartup;
    DWORD       PickAttachProperties;
} TESTEXPERTCONFIG;
typedef TESTEXPERTCONFIG* LPTESTEXPERTCONFIG;

    Note that RawConfigLength ensures that the overlay works correctly. When you use the data, your code might look like this:

    BOOL WINAPI Configure( 
    HEXPERTKEY ExpertKey,
    PEXPERTCONFIG * ppConfig,
    PEXPERTSTARTUPINFO pStartupInfo,
    DWORD StartupFlags,
    HWND hWnd
)
{
    LPTESTEXPERTCONFIG  lpConfig;

    //...
    lpConfig = (LPTESTEXPERTCONFIG)(*ppConfig);
    //...
}
