KsGenerateEvents function (ks.h)
The KsGenerateEvents function generates events of an indicated type that are present in Object's event list.
Syntax
void KsGenerateEvents(
[in] PVOID Object,
[in, optional] const GUID *EventSet,
[in] ULONG EventId,
[in] ULONG DataSize,
[in, optional] PVOID Data,
[in, optional] PFNKSGENERATEEVENTCALLBACK CallBack,
[in, optional] PVOID CallBackContext
);
Parameters
[in] Object
The object on which to generate events. This can be an AVStream filter or pin object.
[in, optional] EventSet
The event set GUID to match to determine which events to generate. If this parameter is NULL, set GUID is not taken into account for determining matching events.
[in] EventId
The event ID to match to determine which events to generate.
[in] DataSize
The size in bytes of the data with which to generate the data event.
[in, optional] Data
A pointer to a data buffer to include in the event notification. If the driver does not need to convey additional information via the notification, set this optional parameter to NULL.
[in, optional] CallBack
A pointer to a caller-specified function that is called to determine whether a given event should be generated. If this is NULL, no callback verification is performed to determine whether an event should be generated (only *EventSet *and EventId are used).
[in, optional] CallBackContext
A pointer to a caller-specified context that is passed to the callback function CallBack.
Return value
None
Remarks
When calling this function, a minidriver must place Data and CallBackContext in a locked, nonpageable data segment. In addition, note that the CallBack is made at DISPATCH_LEVEL. The callback function must be in a locked segment and must be prepared to run at IRQL = DISPATCH_LEVEL. Note that there is an additional issue in DX8 only: EventSet must be in a locked data segment.
Minidrivers typically do not call this function directly and instead use one of the versions that performs appropriate casting: KsFilterGenerateEvents or KsPinGenerateEvents.
An event is generated if it is present in *Object's *event list and *EventId *matches the event's ID, EventSet either matches the event's set GUID or is NULL, and *CallBack *is either NULL or authorizes the match.
CallBack is a caller-specified callback used for additional match determination. It is prototyped as follows:
BOOLEAN CallBack (IN PVOID Context, IN PKSEVENT_ENTRY EventEntry);
AVStream passes the contents of the KsGenerateEvents routine's parameter CallBackContext in this callback's Context parameter. EventEntry is a pointer to a KSEVENT_ENTRY structure that specifies the event that would be generated. The callback function should return TRUE if this event should be generated.
