mixerGetControlDetails function

The mixerGetControlDetails function retrieves details about a single control associated with an audio line.

Syntax

MMRESULT mixerGetControlDetails(
   HMIXEROBJ             hmxobj,
   LPMIXERCONTROLDETAILS pmxcd,
   DWORD                 fdwDetails
);

Parameters

  • hmxobj
    Handle to the mixer device object being queried.

  • pmxcd
    Pointer to a MIXERCONTROLDETAILS structure, which is filled with state information about the control.

  • fdwDetails
    Flags for retrieving control details. The following values are defined.

    Value Meaning
    MIXER_GETCONTROLDETAILSF_LISTTEXT The paDetails member of the MIXERCONTROLDETAILS structure points to one or more MIXERCONTROLDETAILS_LISTTEXT structures to receive text labels for multiple-item controls. An application must get all list text items for a multiple-item control at once. This flag cannot be used with MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_CUSTOM controls.
    MIXER_GETCONTROLDETAILSF_VALUE Current values for a control are retrieved. The paDetails member of the MIXERCONTROLDETAILS structure points to one or more details structures appropriate for the control class.
    MIXER_OBJECTF_AUX The hmxobj parameter is an auxiliary device identifier in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the auxGetNumDevs function.
    MIXER_OBJECTF_HMIDIIN The hmxobj parameter is the handle of a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) input device. This handle must have been returned by the midiInOpen function.
    MIXER_OBJECTF_HMIDIOUT The hmxobj parameter is the handle of a MIDI output device. This handle must have been returned by the midiOutOpen function.
    MIXER_OBJECTF_HMIXER The hmxobj parameter is a mixer device handle returned by the mixerOpen function. This flag is optional.
    MIXER_OBJECTF_HWAVEIN The hmxobj parameter is a waveform-audio input handle returned by the waveInOpen function.
    MIXER_OBJECTF_HWAVEOUT The hmxobj parameter is a waveform-audio output handle returned by the waveOutOpen function.
    MIXER_OBJECTF_MIDIIN The hmxobj parameter is the identifier of a MIDI input device. This identifier must be in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the midiInGetNumDevs function.
    MIXER_OBJECTF_MIDIOUT The hmxobj parameter is the identifier of a MIDI output device. This identifier must be in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the midiOutGetNumDevs function.
    MIXER_OBJECTF_MIXER The hmxobj parameter is the identifier of a mixer device in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the mixerGetNumDevs function. This flag is optional.
    MIXER_OBJECTF_WAVEIN The hmxobj parameter is the identifier of a waveform-audio input device in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the waveInGetNumDevs function.
    MIXER_OBJECTF_WAVEOUT The hmxobj parameter is the identifier of a waveform-audio output device in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the waveOutGetNumDevs function.
