This structure describes the state and metrics of a single control for an audio line.

Syntax

typedef struct { 
  DWORD cbStruct; 
  DWORD dwControlID; 
  DWORD dwControlType; 
  DWORD fdwControl; 
  DWORD cMultipleItems; 
  CHAR  szShortName[MIXER_SHORT_NAME_CHARS]; 
  CHAR  szName[MIXER_LONG_NAME_CHARS]; 
  union { 
    struct { 
      LONG lMinimum; 
      LONG lMaximum; 
    }; 
    struct { 
      DWORD dwMinimum; 
      DWORD dwMaximum; 
    }; 
    DWORD dwReserved[6]; 
  } Bounds; 
  union { 
    DWORD cSteps; 
    DWORD cbCustomData; 
    DWORD dwReserved[6]; 
  } Metrics; 
} MIXERCONTROL, *PMIXERCONTROL, FAR* LPMIXERCONTROL; 

Members

  • cbStruct
    Size, in bytes, of the MIXERCONTROL structure.
  • dwControlID
    Audio mixer-defined identifier that uniquely refers to the control described by the MIXERCONTROL structure.

    This identifier can be in any format supported by the mixer device.

    An application should use this identifier only as an abstract handle.

    No two controls for a single mixer device can ever have the same control identifier.

  • dwControlType
    Class of the control for which the identifier is specified in dwControlID.

    An application must use this information to display the appropriate control for input from the user.

    An application can also display tailored graphics based on the control class or search for a particular control class on a specific line.

    If an application does not know about a control class, this control must be ignored.

    There are eight control class classifications, each with one or more standard control types:

    MIXERCONTROL_CT_CLASS_CUSTOM

    MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_CUSTOM

    MIXERCONTROL_CT_CLASS_FADER

    MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_BASS MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_EQUALIZER MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_FADER MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_TREBLE MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_VOLUME

    MIXERCONTROL_CT_CLASS_LIST

    MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MIXER MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MULTIPLESELECT MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MUX MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_SINGLESELECT

    MIXERCONTROL_CT_CLASS_METER

    MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_BOOLEANMETER MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_PEAKMETER MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_SIGNEDMETER MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_UNSIGNEDMETER

    MIXERCONTROL_CT_CLASS_NUMBER

    MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_DECIBELS MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_PERCENT MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_SIGNED MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_UNSIGNED

    MIXERCONTROL_CT_CLASS_SLIDER

    MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_PAN MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_QSOUNDPAN MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_SLIDER

    MIXERCONTROL_CT_CLASS_SWITCH

    MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_BOOLEAN MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_BUTTON MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_LOUDNESS MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MONO MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MUTE MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_ONOFF MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_STEREOENH

    MIXERCONTROL_CT_CLASS_TIME

    MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MICROTIME MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MILLITIME

  • fdwControl
    Status and support flags for the audio line control.

    The following table shows the possible flags.

    Flag Description

    MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLF_DISABLED

    The control is disabled, perhaps due to other settings for the mixer hardware, and cannot be used.

    An application can read current settings from a disabled control, but it cannot apply settings.

    MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLF_MULTIPLE

    The control has two or more settings per channel.

    An equalizer, for example, requires this flag because each frequency band can be set to a different value.

    An equalizer that affects both channels of a stereo line in a uniform fashion will also specify the MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLF_UNIFORM flag.

    MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLF_UNIFORM

    The control acts on all channels of a multichannel line in a uniform fashion.

    For example, a control that mutes both channels of a stereo line would set this flag. Most MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MUX and MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MIXER controls also specify the MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLF_UNIFORM flag.

  • cMultipleItems
    Number of items per channel that make up a MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLF_MULTIPLE control.

    This number is always two or greater for multiple-item controls.

    If the control is not a multiple-item control, do not use this member; it will be zero.

  • szShortName
    Short string that describes the audio line control specified by dwControlID.

    This description should be appropriate to use as a concise label for the control.

  • szName
    String that describes the audio line control specified by dwControlID.

    This description should be appropriate to use as a complete description for the control.

  • Bounds
    Union of boundary types.
  • lMinimum
    Minimum signed value for a control that has a signed boundary nature.

    This member cannot be used in conjunction with dwMinimum.

  • lMaximum
    Maximum signed value for a control that has a signed boundary nature.

    This member cannot be used in conjunction with dwMaximum.

  • dwMinimum
    Minimum unsigned value for a control that has an unsigned boundary nature.

    This member cannot be used in conjunction with lMinimum.

  • dwMaximum
    Maximum unsigned value for a control that has an unsigned boundary nature.

    This member cannot be used in conjunction with lMaximum.

  • Metrics
    Union of boundary metrics.
  • cSteps
    Number of discrete ranges within the union specified for a control specified by the Bounds member.

    This member overlaps with the other members of the Metrics structure member and cannot be used in conjunction with those members.

  • cbCustomData
    Size, in bytes, required to contain the state of a custom control class.

    This member is appropriate only for the MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_CUSTOM control class.

    To determine if the dwMinimum, dwMaximum, lMinimum, lMaximum, cSteps, and cbCustomData members are appropriate for a control class, see Control Types.

    The calling application does not need to initialize any members of this structure because the MIXERCONTROL structure is passed to the mixerGetLineControls function as a receiving buffer that is referenced and described by the MIXERLINECONTROLS structure.

    When mixerGetLineControls returns, the cbStruct member contains the actual size of the information returned by the mixer device.

    The returned information will not exceed the requested size, nor will it be smaller than the MIXERCONTROL structure.

  • dwReserved
    Reserved; do not use.
