SplIsSessionZero function (winsplp.h)

  • Article

The SplIsSessionZero function determines whether a certain print job (print handle plus job ID) was issued in session zero.

Syntax

DWORD SplIsSessionZero(
  [in]  HANDLE hPrinter,
        DWORD  JobId,
  [out] BOOL   *pIsSessionZero
);

Parameters

[in] hPrinter

A handle to the printer.

JobId

Specifies the print job.

[out] pIsSessionZero

Pointer to a memory location that is set to TRUE if the SessionID for the session is zero; otherwise, this value is set to FALSE.

Return value

On success, the SplIsSessionZero function returns ERROR_SUCCESS; otherwise this function returns a Win32 error code.

Remarks

A driver that displays custom user interface elements can use the SplIsSessionZero function to determine whether the current job was issued in session 0. Such a driver can use this information to enable it to present user interface elements in the user's session, rather than in session zero. A related function, SplPromptUIInUsersSession, displays a standard Windows message box in the user's session.

If you plan to use this function in a driver intended to run under Windows 2000, you must load spoolss.dll by a call to the LoadLibrary function, and then find the address of this function within that DLL by a call to the GetProcAddress function. If the call to GetProcAddress fails, you must use an alternative mechanism to display user interface elements.
