RmAcquire (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

This function opens a resource of the type specified by pResId. Once opened, Connection Manager will receive resource-wide asynchronous notifications on the state of the resource.

Syntax

RM_RESULT RmAcquire(
    __in HANDLE hId,
    __in const RM_RESOURCE_ID* pResId,
    DWORD dwPriority,
    __out RM_RESOURCE_HANDLE* phAcquired
);

Parameters

• [in] hId
  [in] An RM_RESOURCE_HANDLE returned by RmInitialize.

• [in] pResId
  [in] An RM_RESOURCE_ID identifying the type of resource to acquire.

• [in] dwPriority
  Priority value used by the Resource Manager to separate tasks within an application and determine whether the resource will be used for user interactive or background activity. The priority scheme is notably different from that described in CM_PRIORITY:

  • Background sessions: 0 to (2^16) - 1
  • User Interactive sessions: 2^16 to (2^32) - 1

• [in,out] phAcquired
  [in] Pointer to a storage area to place the output.

  [out] Pointer to an RM_RESOURCE_HANDLE for the acquired resource. This is used in calls to RmRelease, RmAddToResource and RmRemoveFromResource.

Return Value

The function returns the following values:

Value	Description
RMRE_SUCCESS	The call succeeded.
RMRE_CONFLICT	The resource is in use by a higher priority application.
RMRE_EXTERNAL_CONFLICT	A resource is not available due to an external condition. For example, a data call was requested and no data network is available.
RMRE_INVALID_PARAMETER	One of the input parameters is invalid.
RMRE_NOT_INITIALIZED	The hId parameter cannot be matched to an initialized resource.
RMRE_UNEXPECTED	An unexpected failure occurred.

Remarks

Resource-wide notifications include availability, network type, roaming status and bandwidth.
