FaxEnumRoutingMethodsA function (winfax.h)
The FaxEnumRoutingMethods function enumerates all fax routing methods for a specific fax device. The function returns information about each routing method to a fax client application.
Syntax
WINFAXAPI BOOL FaxEnumRoutingMethodsA(
[in] HANDLE FaxPortHandle,
[out] PFAX_ROUTING_METHODA *RoutingMethod,
[out] LPDWORD MethodsReturned
);
Parameters
[in] FaxPortHandle
Type: HANDLE
Specifies a fax port handle returned by a call to the FaxOpenPort function.
[out] RoutingMethod
Type: PFAX_ROUTING_METHOD*
Pointer to the address of a buffer to receive an array of FAX_ROUTING_METHOD structures. Each structure contains information about one fax routing method. The data includes, among other items, the name of the DLL that exports the routing method, the GUID and function name that identify the routing method, and the method's user-friendly name.
For information about memory allocation, see the following Remarks section. For information about fax routing methods, see About the Fax Routing Extension API.
[out] MethodsReturned
Type: LPDWORD
Pointer to a DWORD variable to receive the number of FAX_ROUTING_METHOD structures the FaxEnumRoutingMethods function returns in the RoutingMethod parameter.
Return value
Type: BOOL
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. GetLastError can return one of the following errors.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
Access is denied. FAX_PORT_QUERY access is required. |
|
One or all of the MethodsReturned, RoutingMethod, or FaxPortHandle parameters are NULL. |
|
An error occurred during memory allocation. |
Remarks
A fax administration application typically calls the FaxEnumRoutingMethods function to query the fax routing methods associated with a particular device. A call to the FaxSetRoutingInfo function changes the routing information for a particular fax routing method.
The FaxEnumGlobalRoutingInfo function retrieves routing information that applies globally to the fax server, such as routing priority. An application can modify global data with a call to the FaxSetGlobalRoutingInfo function.
The FaxEnumRoutingMethods function allocates the memory required for the FAX_ROUTING_METHOD buffer array pointed to by the RoutingMethod parameter. An application must call the FaxFreeBuffer function to deallocate the resources associated with this parameter.
For more information, see Fax Server Configuration Management and Freeing Fax Resources.
Note
The winfax.h header defines FaxEnumRoutingMethods as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
