IWMSEventAuthorizationPlugin::GetAuthorizedEvents

The GetAuthorizedEvents method retrieves an array of events that must be authorized by the plug-in.

Syntax

  HRESULT GetAuthorizedEvents(
  VARIANT*  pvarEvents
);

Parameters

pvarEvents

[out] Pointer to a VARIANT containing a SAFEARRAY of WMS_EVENT_TYPE enumeration values.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the plug-in must return S_OK. To report an error, the plug-in can return any HRESULT other than S_OK. If the plug-in uses the IWMSEventLog interface to log error information directly to the Windows Event Viewer, it is recommended that it return NS_E_PLUGIN_ERROR_REPORTED. Typically, the server attempts to make plug-in error information available to the server object model, the Windows Event Viewer, and the troubleshooting list in the details pane of the Windows Media Services MMC. However, if the plug-in uses the IWMSEventLog interface to send custom error information to the Windows Event Viewer, returning NS_E_PLUGIN_ERROR_REPORTED stops the server from also logging to the event viewer. For more information about retrieving plug-in error information, see Identifying Plug-in Errors.

Example Code

The following example illustrates a possible implementation of the GetAuthorizedEvents method for an access control list (ACL) authorization plug-in.

HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE 
CACLPlugin::GetAuthorizedEvents(  VARIANT *pvarEvents )
{

    HRESULT hr = S_OK;
    long iEvents = 0;
    long nNumEvents
    SAFEARRAY *psa = NULL;
    SAFEARRAYBOUND rgsabound[1];

    // Identify the events the plug-in can authorize.
    WMS_EVENT_TYPE wmsEvents[] = {
                        WMS_EVENT_DESCRIBE,
                        WMS_EVENT_OPEN,
                        WMS_EVENT_GET_PARAMETER,
                        WMS_EVENT_VALIDATE_PUSH_DISTRIBUTION
                        };

    // Set up the safearray boundaries and create the array.
    rgsabound[0].lLbound = 0;
    nNumEvents = sizeof( wmsEvents ) / sizeof( WMS_EVENT_TYPE );
    rgsabound[0].cElements = nNumEvents;

    psa = SafeArrayCreate( VT_VARIANT, 1, rgsabound );

    // Add each of the events to the safearray.
    for( iEvents = 0; iEvents < nNumEvents && SUCCEEDED(hr); iEvents++ )
    {
        VARIANT varElement;
        VariantInit( &varElement );
        V_VT(&varElement) = VT_I4;
        V_I4(&varElement) = pWMSEvents[iEvents];

        hr = SafeArrayPutElement( psa, &iEvents, &varElement );
        VariantClear( &varElement );
    }

    V_ARRAY(pvarEvents) = psa;

    return ( hr );
}
