DXGKCB_INDICATE_CHILD_STATUS callback function (dispmprt.h)

Article

The DxgkCbIndicateChildStatus function records the current status of a specified child device of a display adapter.

Syntax

DXGKCB_INDICATE_CHILD_STATUS DxgkcbIndicateChildStatus;

NTSTATUS DxgkcbIndicateChildStatus(
  [in] HANDLE DeviceHandle,
  [in] PDXGK_CHILD_STATUS ChildStatus
)
{...}

Parameters

[in] DeviceHandle

A handle that represents a display adapter. The display miniport driver previously obtained this handle in the DeviceHandle member of the DXGKRNL_INTERFACE structure that was passed to DxgkDdiStartDevice.

[in] ChildStatus

A pointer to a DXGK_CHILD_STATUS structure that identifies the child device and describes the current status of the child device.

Return value

DxgkCbIndicateChildStatus returns STATUS_SUCCESS if it succeeds. Otherwise, it returns one of the error codes defined in Ntstatus.h.

Remarks

The display miniport driver's DPC for ISR calls DxgkCbIndicateChildStatus when the display adapter generates an interrupt for any of the following reasons:

An external device (typically a monitor) has been connected to one of the display adapter's child devices that has an HPD awareness value of HpdAwarenessInterruptible. In this case, the display miniport driver sets ChildStatus->Type to StatusConnection and sets ChildStatus.HotPlug.Connected to TRUE.
An external device (typically a monitor) has been disconnected from one of the display adapter's child devices that has an HPD awareness value of HpdAwarenessInterruptible. In this case, the display miniport driver sets ChildStatus->Type to StatusConnection and sets ChildStatus.HotPlug.Connected to FALSE.
The display device connected to one of its on-board child devices (that has a monitor orientation awareness value of D3DKMDT_MOA_INTERRUPTIBLE) has been rotated. In this case, the display miniport driver sets ChildStatus->Type to StatusRotation and sets ChildStatus.Rotation.Angle to the angle of rotation.

The display miniport driver's DxgkDdiNotifyAcpiEvent function calls DxgkCbIndicateChildStatus in the following situations:

The lid on a portable computer gets opened. In this case, the display miniport driver sets ChildStatus->Type to StatusConnection and sets ChildStatus.HotPlug.Connected to TRUE.
The lid on a portable computer gets closed. In this case, the display miniport driver sets ChildStatus->Type to StatusConnection and sets ChildStatus.HotPlug.Connected to FALSE.

Examples

The following code example shows how to record the current status of a child device.

NTSTATUS
AtiSimulateMonitor(HW_DEVICE_EXTENSION *pHwDeviceExtension, PR2_SIMULATE_MONITOR i_pEscape)
{
    NTSTATUS Status;
    PVOID MonitorDescriptor = NULL;
    DXGK_CHILD_STATUS     ChildStatus;
    ChildStatus.ChildUid    =  pHwDeviceExtension->ulNumberDisplays | HW_ID_DISPLAY_CHILD;
    ChildStatus.Type    = StatusConnection;

    if(i_pEscape->Data == NULL) {
        // Remove a simulated monitor
        if(pHwDeviceExtension->pvSimulatedMonitorDescriptor != NULL) {
            ExFreePoolWithTag(pHwDeviceExtension->pvSimulatedMonitorDescriptor, ATI_TAG);
            pHwDeviceExtension->pvSimulatedMonitorDescriptor = NULL;
            pHwDeviceExtension->ulSimulatedMonitorDescriptorLength = 0;
           pHwDeviceExtension->ulRetryCount = 0;
           pHwDeviceExtension->bReportDescriptor = FALSE;

            ChildStatus.HotPlug.Connected = FALSE;
            Status = DxgkCbIndicateChildStatus(pHwDeviceExtension->DeviceHandle, &ChildStatus);
        }
        else {
            // No simulated monitor is present so the request to remove one is invalid
            return STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER;
        }
    }
    else {
        //Add a simulated monitor
    }
    return Status;
}
