DOC: User Supplied RASAdmin.dll Callbacks Must Use _stdcall

• Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 4.2

SUMMARY

On the Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) CD-ROM, the four user callback function entry points in the RASAdmin.dll (supplied by the user) in Windows NT 4.0 must have _stdcall in their function declarations. The declarations in these files should include CALLBACK or WINAPI or __stdcall as is specified for other callback functions. Look at the page for EnumICMProfilesProc for an example of a callback function declaration. The documentation errors are located in the following files:

MORE INFORMATION

Third-party RAS server administration DLLs have four entry points declared in the WIN32SDK programmer's reference. The declarations do not include the _stdcall calling sequence specifier. If you build your DLL using Visual C++ 4.x defaults, your DLL does not work correctly. You can either set your project to use __stdcall as the default by choosing:

Build\Settings\C/C++:Category Code Generation:Calling Convention __stdcall

-or-

you can change your code and Rassapi.h to use the following function declarations:

DWORD APIENTRY RasAdminGetIpAddressForUser(
    WCHAR *lpszUserName,   // pointer to the name of the remote user
    WCHAR *lpszPortName,   // pointer to the name of the port
    IPADDR *pipAddress,         // pointer to the IP address
    BOOL *bNotifyRelease   // indicates whether RAS should call
RasAdminReleaseIpAddress
   );
VOID APIENTRY RasAdminReleaseIpAddress(
    WCHAR *lpszUserName,   // pointer to the name of the remote user
    WCHAR *lpszPortName,   // pointer to the name of the port
    IPADDR *pipAddress         // pointer to the IP address
   );
BOOL APIENTRY RasAdminAcceptNewConnection(
    RAS_PORT_1 *pRasPort1, // pointer to connection information
    RAS_PORT_STATISTICS *pRasStats, // pointer to port statistics
    RAS_PARAMETERS *pRasParams   // pointer to an array of parameters
   );

VOID APIENTRY RasAdminConnectionHangupNotification(
    RAS_PORT_1 *pRasPort1, // pointer to connection information
    RAS_PORT_STATISTICS *pRasStats, // pointer to port statistics
    RAS_PARAMETERS *pRasParams   // pointer to an array of parameters
   );
