| OnGlobalConfigurationChange | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalConfigurationChange event, which occurs when a change is made to a configuration file. |
| OnGlobalCustomNotification | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalCustomNotification event, which occurs when a module raises a user-defined notification. |
| OnGlobalFileChange | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalFileChange event, which occurs when a file within a Web site is changed. |

| OnGlobalPreBeginRequest | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalPreBeginRequest event, which occurs before a request enters the pipeline. |
| OnGlobalRSCAQuery | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalRSCAQuery event, which occurs when a Run-Time Status and Control query is executed. |
| OnGlobalStopListening | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalStopListening event, which occurs when IIS stops accepting new requests. |
| OnGlobalThreadCleanup | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalThreadCleanup event, which occurs when IIS returns a thread to the thread pool. |

| Terminate | Represents the method that IIS calls when a global module has completed processing. |

Remarks
The CGlobalModule class is the base class for global-level HTTP modules. Global-level HTTP modules must contain a class that inherits from CGlobalModule. CGlobalModule defines the methods that IIS 7 calls to handle global-level notifications when global-level events occur. An HTTP module can register for specific events by defining a list of notifications in a module's exported RegisterModule function. When a global-level module has finished processing, the module should use the CGlobalModule::Terminate method to remove CGlobalModule instances from memory.
Example
The following code example demonstrates how to create a simple "Hello World" global-level HTTP module. The module defines an exported RegisterModule function that creates an instance of a class that is derived from CGlobalModule. If the class cannot be created, the function exits with an error code; otherwise, the function calls the IHttpModuleRegistrationInfo::SetRequestNotifications method to register for the GL_PRE_BEGIN_REQUEST notification.
When a GL_PRE_BEGIN_REQUEST notification occurs, IIS calls the module's CGlobalModule::OnGlobalPreBeginRequest method to process the notification. The method calls a private method to write an event to the application log of the Event Viewer, and then it returns GL_NOTIFICATION_CONTINUE to notify IIS to continue processing other notifications. When processing is complete, IIS calls the module's CGlobalModule::Terminate method to remove the class from memory.
#define _WINSOCKAPI_
#include <windows.h>
#include <sal.h>
#include <httpserv.h>
// Create the module's global class.
class MyGlobalModule : public CGlobalModule
{
public:
// Process a GL_APPLICATION_START notification.
GLOBAL_NOTIFICATION_STATUS
OnGlobalPreBeginRequest(
IN IPreBeginRequestProvider * pProvider
)
{
UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( pProvider );
WriteEventViewerLog( "Hello World!" );
return GL_NOTIFICATION_CONTINUE;
}
VOID Terminate()
{
// Remove the class from memory.
delete this;
}
MyGlobalModule()
{
// Open a handle to the Event Viewer.
m_hEventLog = RegisterEventSource( NULL,"IISADMIN" );
}
~MyGlobalModule()
{
// Test whether the handle for the Event Viewer is open.
if (NULL != m_hEventLog)
{
// Close the handle to the Event Viewer.
DeregisterEventSource( m_hEventLog );
m_hEventLog = NULL;
}
}
private:
// Create a handle for the event viewer.
HANDLE m_hEventLog;
// Define a method that writes to the Event Viewer.
BOOL WriteEventViewerLog(LPCSTR szNotification)
{
// Test whether the handle for the Event Viewer is open.
if (NULL != m_hEventLog)
{
// Write any strings to the Event Viewer and return.
return ReportEvent(
m_hEventLog,
EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, 0, 0,
NULL, 1, 0, &szNotification, NULL );
}
return FALSE;
}
};
// Create the module's exported registration function.
HRESULT
__stdcall
RegisterModule(
DWORD dwServerVersion,
IHttpModuleRegistrationInfo * pModuleInfo,
IHttpServer * pGlobalInfo
)
{
UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( dwServerVersion );
UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( pGlobalInfo );
// Create an instance of the global module class.
MyGlobalModule * pGlobalModule = new MyGlobalModule;
// Test for an error.
if (NULL == pGlobalModule)
{
return HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY);
}
// Set the global notifications and exit.
return pModuleInfo->SetGlobalNotifications(
pGlobalModule, GL_PRE_BEGIN_REQUEST );
}
Your module must export the RegisterModule function. You can export this function by creating a module definition (.def) file for your project, or you can compile the module by using the /EXPORT:RegisterModule switch. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Global-Level HTTP Module By Using Native Code.
You can optionally compile the code by using the __stdcall (/Gz) calling convention instead of explicitly declaring the calling convention for each function.
