Header file:

Mapidefs.h

typedef struct _EXTENDED_NOTIFICATION
{
  ULONG ulEvent;
  ULONG cb;
  LPBYTE pbEventParameters;
} EXTENDED_NOTIFICATION;

Members

• ulEvent
  Extended event code that is defined by the provider.

• cb
  Count of bytes in the event-specific parameters pointed to by pbEventParameters.

• pbEventParameters
  Pointer to event-specific parameters. The type of parameters that are used depends on the value of the ulEvent member; these parameters are documented by the provider that issued the event.

Remarks

The EXTENDED_NOTIFICATION structure is one of the members of the union of structures included in the info member of the NOTIFICATION structure. When the info member of a NOTIFICATION structure contains an EXTENDED_NOTIFICATION structure, the ulEventType member of the NOTIFICATION structure is set to fnevExtended.

The extended event is defined by a service provider to represent a type of change that cannot be covered by any of the other predefined events. Only clients that know before they register that a service provider supports an extended event can register for that event. It is not possible for clients to determine without advanced knowledge if a service provider supports an extended event. If a service provider supports an extended event, it shows how to handle such an event when it is received.

An extended notification is sent by the session when a client logs off. Register for this notification by calling IMAPISession::Advise with the lpEntryID parameter set to NULL and the cbEntryID parameter set to zero.
