C-C++ Code Example: Verifying Acknowledgment Requests
Applies To: Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server Technical Preview, Windows Vista
This example provides an application-defined function that peeks at the PROPID_M_ACKNOWLEDGE property of all the messages in a known queue, displaying the label of any message that requested acknowledgment messages.
For information on how acknowledgment messages are requested, see Acknowledgment Messages.
To verify acknowledgments
Define the maximum number of queue properties to be specified and the queue property counter.
Define the MQMSGPROPS structure.
Specify PROPID_M_ACKNOWLEDGE.
Initialize the MQMSGPROPS structure.
Call MQOpenQueue to open the queue with receive access. Receive access allows the application to peek at or remove the messages in the queue.
Call MQCreateCursor to create the cursor for navigating the queue. The returned cursor handle is used in the calls to read messages.
Call MQReceiveMessage with peek access to peek at the first message in the queue. This call also initializes the cursor so that the cursor points at the first message in the queue.
In a loop structure, continue to call MQReceiveMessage to peek at and remove the messages in the queue.
Note
The receive action of each call varies depending on if the previous message was or was not removed from the queue.
If the current message has an acknowledgment level that is not equal to MQ_ACKNOWLEDGMENT_NONE, set dwRecAction to MQ_ACTION_RECEIVE, call MQReceiveMessage to remove the message, then reset dwRecAction to MQ_ACTION_PEEK_CURRENT to process the next message. This call will remove the current message and Message Queuing moves the cursor to the next message.
If the acknowledgment level of the current message is equal to MQ_ACKNOWLEDGMENT_NONE, set dwRecAction to MQ_ACTION_PEEK_NEXT to move the cursor to test the next message. In this case, the application must move the cursor to the next message.
- Call MQCloseQueue and MQCloseCursor to free the resources.
Code Example
The following code example can be run on all versions of Message Queuing.
