Members
DMUS_PMSG_PART
Macro for common message members. See DMUS_PMSG.
guidNotificationType
Identifier of the notification type. The following types are defined.
| Value | Description |
| GUID_NOTIFICATION_CHORD | Chord change. |
| GUID_NOTIFICATION_COMMAND | Command event. |
| GUID_NOTIFICATION_MEASUREANDBEAT | Measure and beat event. |
| GUID_NOTIFICATION_PERFORMANCE | Performance event, further defined in dwNotificationOption. |
| GUID_NOTIFICATION_RECOMPOSE | A track has been recomposed. |
| GUID_NOTIFICATION_SEGMENT | Segment event, further defined in dwNotificationOption. |
dwNotificationOption
Identifier of the notification subtype. If the notification type is GUID_NOTIFICATION_SEGMENT, this member can contain one of the following values.
| Value | Description |
| DMUS_NOTIFICATION_SEGABORT | The segment was stopped prematurely, or was removed from the primary segment queue. |
| DMUS_NOTIFICATION_SEGALMOSTEND | The segment has reached the end minus the Prepare Time. |
| DMUS_NOTIFICATION_SEGEND | The segment has ended. |
| DMUS_NOTIFICATION_SEGLOOP | The segment has looped. |
| DMUS_NOTIFICATION_SEGSTART | The segment has started. |
If the notification type is GUID_NOTIFICATION_COMMAND, this member can contain one of the following values.
| Value | Description |
| DMUS_NOTIFICATION_GROOVE | |
| DMUS_NOTIFICATION_EMBELLISHMENT | Embellishment command (intro, fill, break, or end). |
If the notification type is GUID_NOTIFICATION_PERFORMANCE, this member can contain one of the following values.
| Value | Description |
| DMUS_NOTIFICATION_MUSICALMOSTEND | The currently playing primary segment has reached the end minus the prepare time, and no more primary segments are cued to play. |
| DMUS_NOTIFICATION_MUSICSTARTED | Playback has started. |
| DMUS_NOTIFICATION_MUSICSTOPPED | Playback has stopped. |
If the notification type is GUID_NOTIFICATION_MEASUREANDBEAT, this member contains DMUS_NOTIFICATION_MEASUREBEAT. No other subtypes are defined.
If the notification type is GUID_NOTIFICATION_CHORD, this member contains DMUS_NOTIFICATION_CHORD. No other subtypes are defined.
If the notification type is GUID_NOTIFICATION_RECOMPOSE, this member contains DMUS_NOTIFICATION_RECOMPOSE. No other subtypes are defined.
dwField1
Extra data specific to the type of notification. For GUID_NOTIFICATION_MEASUREANDBEAT notifications, this member returns the beat number within the measure.
dwField2
Extra data specific to the type of notification. Reserved for future or application-defined use.
Remarks
For most notifications, the punkUser member (see DMUS_PMSG) contains the IUnknown pointer of the segment state. This is especially useful in the cases of chords and commands, in which you can query for the IDirectMusicSegmentState8 interface, call IDirectMusicSegmentState8::GetSegment to get the IDirectMusicSegment8 pointer, and then call the IDirectMusicSegment8::GetParam method to get the chord or command at the time given in the notification message's mtTime member.
For notifications of type GUID_NOTIFICATION_PERFORMANCE, the punkUser member is always NULL.
Applications can define their own notification message types and subtypes and use dwField1 and dwField2 for extra data. Such custom notification messages can be allocated and sent like any other message. Application-defined tracks can send messages of a particular type after the GUID (guidNotificationType) has been handed to IDirectMusicTrack8::AddNotificationType.
