ALERT_VAR_DATA

The ALERT_VAR_DATA macro returns a pointer to the variable-length portion of an alert message. Variable-length data can follow an ADMIN_OTHER_INFO, a PRINT_OTHER_INFO, or a USER_OTHER_INFO structure.

ALERT_VAR_DATA(
  LPBYTE p   
);

Parameters

p

Pointer to an ADMIN_OTHER_INFO, a PRINT_OTHER_INFO, or a USER_OTHER_INFO structure that was specified in a call to the NetAlertRaise function or the NetAlertRaiseEx function.

Return Value

The return value is a pointer to the variable-length data that follows the fixed-length structure in the alert message.

Remarks

The ALERT_VAR_DATA macro is defined as follows:

#define ALERT_VAR_DATA(p)      ((LPBYTE)(p) + sizeof(*p))

See NetAlertRaise and NetAlertRaiseEx for code samples that use the ALERT_VAR_DATA macro to retrieve a pointer to the variable-length data in an alert message.

Requirements

  Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows NT 3.1 or later.
  Windows 95/98: Unsupported.
  Header: Declared in Lmalert.h.
