| Cancel | Cancels a Microsoft Firewall service action. |
Remarks
A filter may request that the Firewall service perform a firewall action, such as connecting to a certain target, based on a firewall event or address. A firewall action is always requested in anticipation of an event that may not occur. This interface permits cancellation of the Firewall service action request. Typically, a firewall action relates only to events for which a filter is not registered.
For example, if the action is the future establishment of a secondary connection, the IFWXFirewallAction interface can be used to cancel the action if the primary connection is terminated.
The firewall may automatically cancel certain actions, including:
- Actions that are supposed to happen only once (the action is canceled after its first occurrence).
- Actions that have a time-out.
- An action associated with a session that has been killed.
