midiOutGetDevCaps function

The midiOutGetDevCaps function queries a specified MIDI output device to determine its capabilities.

Syntax

MMRESULT midiOutGetDevCaps(
   UINT_PTR      uDeviceID,
   LPMIDIOUTCAPS lpMidiOutCaps,
   UINT          cbMidiOutCaps
);

Parameters

  • uDeviceID
    Identifier of the MIDI output device. The device identifier specified by this parameter varies from zero to one less than the number of devices present. The MIDI_MAPPER constant is also a valid device identifier.

    This parameter can also be a properly cast device handle.

  • lpMidiOutCaps
    Pointer to a MIDIOUTCAPS structure. This structure is filled with information about the capabilities of the device.
