The PDH_FMT_COUNTERVALUE structure contains the computed value of the counter and its status.

Syntax

typedef struct _PDH_FMT_COUNTERVALUE {
  DWORD CStatus;
  union {
    LONG     longValue;
    double   doubleValue;
    LONGLONG largeValue;
    LPCSTR   AnsiStringValue;
    LPCWSTR  WideStringValue;
  };
} PDH_FMT_COUNTERVALUE, *PPDH_FMT_COUNTERVALUE;

Members

longValue

The computed counter value as a LONG.

doubleValue

The computed counter value as a DOUBLE.

largeValue

The computed counter value as a LONGLONG.

AnsiStringValue

The computed counter value as a LPCSTR. Not supported.
