WIDM_GETPOS

The WIDM_GETPOS message requests a waveform input driver to return the current input position within a waveform. The input position is relative to the first recorded sample of the waveform.

Parameters

uDeviceId

Device identifier (0, 1, 2, and so on) for the target device.

uMsg

WIDM_GETPOS

dwUser

Device instance identifier.

dwParam1

Pointer to an MMTIME structure. (The MMTIME structure is defined in the Win32 SDK.)

dwParam2

Size of the MMTIME in bytes.

Return Value

The driver should return MMSYSERR_NOERROR if the operation succeeds. Otherwise it should return one of the MMSYSERR or WAVERR error codes defined in mmsystem.h. See waveInGetPos return values in the Win32 SDK.

Comments

A client sends the WIDM_GETPOS message by calling the user-mode driver’s widMessage entry point, passing the specified parameters.

The wType member of the MMTIME structure indicates the time format requested by the client. If the driver cannot support the requested format, it should return the position in a format that it does support, and change the wType member accordingly.

Typically, the user-mode driver calls DeviceIoControl to send the kernel-mode driver an IOCTL_WAVE_GET_POSITION control code.
