ZombifyActCtx function (winbase.h)

  • Article

The ZombifyActCtx function deactivates the specified activation context, but does not deallocate it.

Syntax

BOOL ZombifyActCtx(
  [in] HANDLE hActCtx
);

Parameters

[in] hActCtx

Handle to the activation context that is to be deactivated.

Return value

If the function succeeds, it returns TRUE. If a null handle is passed in the hActCtx parameter, NULL_INVALID_PARAMETER will be returned. Otherwise, it returns FALSE.

This function sets errors that can be retrieved by calling GetLastError. For an example, see Retrieving the Last-Error Code. For a complete list of error codes, see System Error Codes.

This function is intended for use in debugging threads using activation contexts. If the activation context deactivated by this function is subsequently accessed, the access fails and an assertion failure is shown in the debugger.
