DSBPOSITIONNOTIFY

The DSBPOSITIONNOTIFY type is used by the DirectSoundBuffer.SetNotificationPositions and DirectSoundCaptureBuffer.SetNotificationPositions methods.

Type DSBPOSITIONNOTIFY
    hEventNotify As Long
    lOffset As Long
End Type

Members

hEventNotify

Handle to the event to signal when the offset has been reached. Obtain this handle by using the DirectX7.CreateEvent method.

lOffset

Offset from the beginning of the buffer where the notify event is to be triggered, or DSBPN_OFFSETSTOP. See Remarks.

Remarks

The DSBPN_OFFSETSTOP value in the lOffset member causes the event to be signaled when playback or capture stops, either because the end of the buffer has been reached and playback or capture is not looping, or because the application called the DirectSoundBuffer.Stop or DirectSoundCaptureBuffer.Stop method.

When you use DSBCAPS_LOCDEFER and DSBCAPS_NOTIFY along with a voice management flag, a sound that has notifications set, but not yet reached, may be terminated by the voice manager. In this event, the notification event will not occur.
