BOOL
DrvConfigureDriver(
PREG_ACCESS RegAccess,
LPTSTR DriverName,
SOUND_KERNEL_MODE_DRIVER_TYPE DriverType,
BOOL (*SetParms)(PVOID),
PVOID Context
);
The DrvConfigureDriver function opens a connection to the service control manager, creates a kernel-mode driver service for the specified driver, and loads the kernel-mode driver.
Parameters
RegAccess
Pointer to a globally-defined structure of type REG_ACCESS.
DriverName
Pointer to the driver name. Must match DriverName in registry path.
DriverType
Driver type, used for indicating the kernel-mode driver's load group. The type is SOUND_KERNEL_MODE_DRIVER_TYPE. The value can be one of the following.
| Value | Definition |
| SoundDriverTypeNormal | Adds kernel-mode driver to "base" load group. |
| SoundDriverTypeSynth | Adds kernel-mode driver to "Synthesizer Drivers" load group. |
The "Synthesizer Drivers" group is unknown to Windows NT and therefore is guaranteed to be loaded last.
SetParms
Pointer to a driver-supplied function that is called before the kernel-mode driver is reloaded. Can be NULL.
Context
Pointer to a driver-defined structure that is passed as input to the function pointed to by SetParms. Can be NULL.
Return Value
Returns TRUE if the operation succeeds. Otherwise returns FALSE.
Comments
The structure pointed to by RegAccess must be a single, globally-defined REG_ACCESS structure that the driver uses with all calls to drvlib.lib functions requiring a RegAccess parameter.
The function performs the following operations, in order:
1.Calls DrvCreateServicesNode, specifying TRUE for the Create parameter.
2.Calls DrvUnloadKernelDriver to unload the kernel-mode driver.
3.Calls the driver-supplied function specified by the SetParms parameter. Generally, drivers use this function to modify configuration parameters in the registry.
4.Calls DrvLoadKernelDriver to reload and restart the kernel-mode driver.
Typically, a user-mode driver calls DrvConfigureDriver from its DriverProc function when processing a DRV_CONFIGURE or DRV_INSTALL command, after obtaining user-specified configuration parameters from a dialog box.
After DrvConfigureDriver returns, call DrvCloseServiceManager.
