RegisterContext function (netsh.h)

Article
10/13/2021

The RegisterContext function registers a helper context with NetShell. The RegisterContext function should be called from the NS_HELPER_START_FN entry point (the start function) passed to the RegisterHelper function in the pfnStart member of the NS_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTES structure passed in its pChildAttributes parameter.

Syntax

DWORD RegisterContext(
  [in] const NS_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTES *pChildContext
);

Parameters

[in] pChildContext

Attributes of the context to register.

Return value

None

Remarks

For top-level helpers, the RegisterContext parameter passed during the course of its initialization function is a pointer to the RegisterContext function. The pointer should be cast to type NS_REGISTER_CONTEXT before use.
