VAR_STRING (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This structure is an object-specific structured information buffer. More than one of these TAPI structures has a member of type VAR_STRING, which is also a structured buffer.

Syntax

typedef struct _VAR_STRING {
  ULONG ulTotalSize;
  ULONG ulNeededSize;
  ULONG ulUsedSize;
  ULONG ulStringFormat;
  ULONG ulStringSize;
  ULONG ulStringOffset;
} VAR_STRING, *PVAR_STRING;

Members

  • ulTotalSize
    The total size in bytes of the buffer, including the buffered string.
  • ulNeededSize
    The size in bytes of a buffer necessary to contain a particular string. For example, the underlying driver sets this value if a protocol-supplied buffer is too short to contain a requested string.
  • ulUsedSize
    The number of bytes in the given buffer that were actually used.
  • ulStringFormat
    Specifies how the buffered string should be interpreted, as one of the following:

    • STRINGFORMAT_ASCII
    • STRINGFORMAT_DBCS
    • STRINGFORMAT_UNICODE
    • STRINGFORMAT_BINARY
  • ulStringSize
    The number of bytes in the given buffered string.
  • ulStringOffset
    The offset within this buffer at which the string begins.

Remarks

TAPI query information requests differ from set information requests in that one or more members in the associated structure, denoted by the "OUT" prefix in the structure definition, are reserved for information the underlying miniport driver should return to the initiator of the request. WAN NIC drivers should treat structure members prefixed with "IN" as read-only.

The first member of all the structures used in query-information requests, ulRequestID, is reserved for future use. Miniport drivers should ignore this member

WAN miniport drivers return no information for set requests other than the completion status. The protocol driver provides all object-specific structures, and their members are read-only to the underlying WAN miniport driver.

Requirements
