Applies to: Outlook 2013 | Outlook 2016

Enables or disables a FNIDLE based idle routine.

Property	Value
Header file:	Mapiutil.h
Implemented by:	MAPI
Called by:	Client applications and service providers

VOID EnableIdleRoutine(
  FTG ftg,
  BOOL fEnable
);

Parameters

ftg

[in] Function tag that identifies the idle routine to be enabled or disabled.

fEnable

[in] Contains TRUE if the idle engine should enable the idle routine, or FALSE if it should disable it.

Return value

None.

Remarks

The following functions deal with the MAPI idle engine and with idle routines based on the FNIDLE function prototype:

Idle routine function	Usage
ChangeIdleRoutine	Changes the characteristics of a registered idle routine.
DeregisterIdleRoutine	Removes a registered idle routine from the MAPI system.
EnableIdleRoutine	Disables or re-enables a registered idle routine without removing it from the MAPI system.
FtgRegisterIdleRoutine	Adds an idle routine to the MAPI system, with or without enabling it.
MAPIDeInitIdle	Shuts down the MAPI idle engine for the calling application.
MAPIInitIdle	Initializes the MAPI idle engine for the calling application.

ChangeIdleRoutine, DeregisterIdleRoutine, and EnableIdleRoutine take as an input parameter the function tag returned by FtgRegisterIdleRoutine.

When all foreground tasks for the platform become idle, the MAPI idle engine calls the highest priority idle routine that is ready to execute. There is no guarantee of calling order among idle routines of the same priority.
