IDirectPlayLobby2::CreateCompoundAddress

IDirectPlayLobby2 Interface

Creates a DirectPlay Address from a list of individual data chunks. This method can be used to create longer DirectPlay Addresses than IDirectPlayLobby2::CreateAddress allows. For a list of predefined Microsoft data types, see DirectPlay Address Data Types.

HRESULT CreateCompoundAddress(
  LPDPCOMPOUNDADDRESSELEMENT lpElements,
  DWORD dwElementCount,
  LPVOID lpAddress,
  LPDWORD lpdwAddressSize
  );

Parameters

lpElements

Pointer to the first element in an array of DPCOMPOUNDADDRESSELEMENT structures that will be used to generate the DirectPlay Address.

dwElementCount

The number of address elements in the array pointed to by the lpElements parameter.

lpData

Pointer to a buffer that the complete DirectPlay Address is to be written to. Pass NULL if only the required size of the buffer is desired.

lpdwDataSize

Pointer to a DWORD with the size of the lpData buffer. The DWORD will be modified to reflect the actual number of bytes copied into the buffer. If the buffer was too small, it will contain the number of bytes required.

Return Values

Returns DP_OK if successful, or one of the following error values otherwise:

DPERR_BUFFERTOOSMALL

DPERR_INVALIDFLAGS

DPERR_INVALIDPARAMS
