IViewHelper::GetActiveTopology method
The GetActiveTopology method retrieves, for a given adapter, an array of identifiers for targets that are active on a given source.
Syntax
HRESULT GetActiveTopology(
[in] LPCWSTR wszAdaptorName,
[in] ULONG ulSourceID,
[in, out] ULONG *pulCount,
[in, out] ULONG *pulTargetID
);
Parameters
wszAdaptorName [in]
[in] A NULL-terminated string that indicates the name of the adapter to retrieve identifiers for. The adapter name is obtained from the DeviceKey member of the DISPLAY_DEVICE structure. The adapter name was set in and returned from a call to the EnumDisplayDevices function. For more information about DISPLAY_DEVICE and EnumDisplayDevices, see the Microsoft Windows SDK documentation.ulSourceID [in]
[in] A ULONG that is set to the source identifier whose configuration GetActiveTopology retrieves.pulCount [in, out]
[in,out] A pointer to a variable that receives the number of active target entries in the array that will be subsequently returned in the buffer that pulTargetID points to. For more information about how array entries are retrieved, see the Remarks section.pulTargetID [in, out]
[in,out] A pointer to a buffer that receives the array of identifiers for the active targets.
Return value
The GetActiveTopology method returns one of the following values:
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
| S_OK | GetActiveTopology successfully retrieved identifiers. |
| E_POINTER | One or more of the pointer parameters is set to NULL when it should not be set to NULL. |
| ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_VIDEO_PRESENT_SOURCE | The source identifier that is specified in the ulSourceID parameter is invalid. |
| ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_DISPLAY_ADAPTER | GetActiveTopology could not match the adapter name in the wszAdaptorName string to an existing graphics adapter's name. |
| ERROR_GRAPHICS_OPM_PARAMETER_ARRAY_TOO_SMALL | The array that was passed in the pulTargetID parameter cannot hold all of the data that GetActiveTopology must insert. TMM will then query for the number of array elements again. |
| Any other error code (that is defined in Winerror.h) will cause TMM to not act on the retrieved data. |
Remarks
GetActiveTopology is used to record the configuration that TMM will subsequently use in a call to the IViewHelper::SetActiveTopology method to restore the configuration.
For a given source identifier and adapter name, TMM calls GetActiveTopology twice. In the first call to GetActiveTopology , the pulTargetID parameter is set to NULL, and the number of entries in the array of active target identifiers is retrieved in the variable that the pulCount parameter points to. In the second call to GetActiveTopology, the number of entries that was retrieved in the first call is passed in the variable that pulCount points to, and an allocated array is passed to pulTargetID. This allocated array receives the identifiers of the active targets.
TMM calls GetActiveTopology to record the display configuration that TMM will then use to reestablish the display configuration at a later time if a call to the Win32 ChangeDisplaySettingsEx function alone is not sufficient. For example, if a graphics adapter is set with two or more targets that are mapped to the same source (that is, clone view), the adapter name is the string that was obtained from the DeviceKey member of the DISPLAY_DEVICE structure in a call to the EnumDisplayDevices function. For more information about ChangeDisplaySettingsEx, DISPLAY_DEVICE, and EnumDisplayDevices, see the Windows SDK documentation.
