  • Article

1/6/2010

This function gets information on the physical and virtual memory of the system on a remote Windows Embedded CE–based device.

Syntax

void CeGlobalMemoryStatus(
  LPMEMORYSTATUS lpmst
);

Parameters

  • lpmst
    [out] Pointer to a MEMORYSTATUS structure in which information about current memory availability is stored.

Return Value

None.

Note

This function generates a RAPI level error if it cannot properly marshal parameters between the Windows Embedded CE-based device and the desktop computer. In this case, you can trace the error by calling the CeRapiGetError (RAPI) function.

Remarks

You can use the CeGlobalMemoryStatus function to determine how much memory your application can allocate without severely impacting other applications.

The information returned by the CeGlobalMemoryStatus function is volatile. There is no guarantee that two sequential calls to this function will get the same information.

Requirements

Header rapi.h
Library rapi.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 3.0 and later
