DeleteMonitor

The DeleteMonitor function removes a printer monitor added by the AddMonitor function.

BOOL DeleteMonitor(
  LPTSTR pName,         // pointer to server name
  LPTSTR pEnvironment,  // pointer to environment string
  LPTSTR pMonitorName   // pointer to monitor name
);
 

Parameters

pName

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the server from which the monitor is to be removed. If this parameter is NULL, the printer monitor is removed locally.

pEnvironment

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the environment from which the monitor is to be removed (for example, "Windows NT x86", "Windows NT R4000", "Windows NT Alpha_AXP", or "Windows 4.0"). If this parameter is NULL, the monitor is removed from the current environment of the calling application and client machine (not of the destination application and print server).

pMonitorName

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the monitor to be removed.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
