CM_Get_Next_Log_Conf_Ex function (cfgmgr32.h)

  • Article

[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, this function has been deprecated. Please use CM_Get_Next_Log_Conf instead.]

The CM_Get_Next_Log_Conf_Ex function obtains the next logical configuration associated with a specific device instance on a local or a remote machine.

Syntax

CMAPI CONFIGRET CM_Get_Next_Log_Conf_Ex(
  [out, optional] PLOG_CONF plcLogConf,
  [in]            LOG_CONF  lcLogConf,
  [in]            ULONG     ulFlags,
  [in, optional]  HMACHINE  hMachine
);

Parameters

[out, optional] plcLogConf

Address of a location to receive the handle to a logical configuration, or NULL. (See the following Remarks section.

[in] lcLogConf

Caller-supplied handle to a logical configuration. This handle must have been previously obtained by calling one of the following functions:

CM_Get_First_Log_Conf_Ex

CM_Get_Next_Log_Conf_Ex

[in] ulFlags

Not used, must be zero.

[in, optional] hMachine

Caller-supplied machine handle, obtained from a previous call to CM_Connect_Machine.

Note  Using this function to access remote machines is not supported beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, as this functionality has been removed.
 

Return value

If the operation succeeds, the function returns CR_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it returns one of the CR_-prefixed error codes defined in Cfgmgr32.h.

Note  Starting with Windows 8, CM_Get_Next_Log_Conf_Ex returns CR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED when used in a Wow64 scenario. To request information about the hardware resources on a local machine it is necessary implement an architecture-native version of the application using the hardware resource APIs. For example: An AMD64 application for AMD64 systems.
 

Remarks

To enumerate the logical configurations associated with a device instance, call CM_Get_First_Log_Conf_Ex to obtain the first logical configuration, then call CM_Get_Next_Log_Conf_Ex repeatedly until it returns CR_NO_MORE_LOG_CONF.

Calling CM_Add_Empty_Log_Conf_Ex or CM_Free_Log_Conf_Ex can invalidate the handle obtained from a previous call to CM_Get_Next_Log_Conf_Ex. Thus if you want to obtain logical configurations after calling CM_Add_Empty_Log_Conf_Ex or CM_Free_Log_Conf_Ex, your code must call CM_Get_First_Log_Conf_Ex again and start at the first configuration.

The handle received in plcLogConf must be explicitly freed by calling CM_Free_Log_Conf_Handle.

If CM_Get_Next_Log_Conf_Ex is called with plcLogConf set to NULL, no handle is returned. This allows you to use the return status to determine if a configuration exists without the need to subsequently free the handle.

Functionality to access remote machines has been removed in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 and later operating systems thus you cannot access remote machines when running on these versions of Windows.
