NOTIFYINFO structure (npapi.h)

The NOTIFYINFO structure contains status information about a network connect or disconnect operation. It is used by the AddConnectNotify and CancelConnectNotify functions.

Syntax

typedef struct _NOTIFYINFO {
  DWORD  dwNotifyStatus;
  DWORD  dwOperationStatus;
  LPVOID lpContext;
} NOTIFYINFO, *LPNOTIFYINFO;

Members

dwNotifyStatus

This will be either NOTIFY_PRE or NOTIFY_POST to indicate whether this notification is sent before or after the connection or disconnection is performed.

dwOperationStatus

This is set to WN_SUCCESS when dwNotifyStatus is NOTIFY_PRE.

If dwNotifyStatus is set to NOTIFY_POST, dwOperationStatus contains the return status code from the function performing the operation: NPAddConnection or NPCancelConnection.

lpContext

Used by the application receiving the notification in order to keep a context for the operation between the pre-notification and the post-notification calls. In other words, it enables the notification application to match the advance notification call to the corresponding after-the-fact notification call for a particular event. The lpContext member is a NULL pointer when the notification function is called for advance notification. The notification function can return with lpContext still NULL, indicating that it is not interested in further notification for this specific operation. In this case, the notification function will not be called again with after-the-fact notification for this operation. If the advance notification function call returns a non-NULL value in lpContext, this value is passed in when the notification function is called for the after-the-fact notification for that same operation.
