  • Article

3/26/2014

This I/O control message indicates whether the battery driver can report whether the batteries were changed. Send this message with DeviceIoControl.

Syntax

BOOL DeviceIoControl(
    HANDLE hDevice,          // handle to the device
    DWORD dwIoControlCode,   // use IOCTL_BATTERY_SUPPORTSCHANGENOTIFICATION
    LPVOID lpInBuffer,       // pointer to input buffer
    DWORD nInBufferSize,     // input buffer size
    LPVOID lpOutBuffer,      // pointer to output buffer
    DWORD nOutBufferSize,    // output buffer size
    LPDWORD lpBytesReturned, // number of bytes returned
    OVERLAPPED lpOverlapped  // pointer to OVERLAPPED structure
);

Parameters

  • hDevice
    [in] Handle to the device. To obtain a device handle, call CreateFile.
  • dwIoControlCode
    [in] Control code for the operation. Use IOCTL_BATTERY_SUPPORTSCHANGENOTIFICATION for this operation.
  • lpInBuffer
    [in] Set to NULL.
  • nInBufferSize
    [in] Set to zero.
  • lpOutBuffer
    [in][out] A pointer to a BOOL that will be set to TRUE if the battery supports change notification, or FALSE otherwise.
  • nOutBufferSize
    [in] Set to sizeof(BOOL).
  • lpBytesReturned
    [out] Long pointer to a variable that receives the size, in bytes, of the data stored into the buffer pointed to by lpOutBuffer.
  • lpOverlapped
    [in] Not supported, set to NULL.

Return Values

Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise, returns FALSE. If the value is TRUE, pdwBytesTransferred will be sizeof(BOOL).

Remarks

To get extended error information, call GetLastError. GetLastError may return other standard error messages as appropriate.
