IDirectMusicSynth::GetRunningStats method (dmusics.h)
The GetRunningStats method retrieves current information about the state of the synthesizer so that an application can tell how the synth is performing.
Syntax
HRESULT GetRunningStats(
LPDMUS_SYNTHSTATS pStats
);
Parameters
pStats
Pointer to a DMUS_SYNTHSTATS structure (described in Microsoft Windows SDK documentation). The method writes the synth's statistics into this structure.
Return value
GetRunningStats returns S_OK if the call was successful. Otherwise, the method returns an appropriate error code. The following table shows some of the possible return status codes.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
Indicates that the method is unable to get the stats. |
|
Indicates a bad pStats pointer. |
|
Indicates that the synthesizer has not implemented this method (so expect the worst!). |
|
Indicates that the synth is not open or not properly configured. |
Remarks
The GetRunningStats method returns current information about the state of the synthesizer, including CPU loading, peak volume, and how many notes were stolen (from changing priority levels; see IDirectMusicSynth::SetChannelPriority). The method outputs these statistics into a DMUS_SYNTHSTATS structure.
An application can call GetRunningStats periodically to get the status of the synthesizer as it runs. All of the running status parameters, with the exception of dwFreeMemory, are refreshed every second.
An application typically accesses GetRunningStats indirectly by calling IDirectMusicPort::GetRunningStats, which is described in the Windows SDK documentation.
