mixerMessage
The mixerMessage function sends a custom mixer driver message directly to a mixer driver.
DWORD mixerMessage(
HMIXER driverID,
UINT uMsg,
DWORD_PTR dwParam1,
DWORD_PTR dwParam2
);
Parameters
driverID
Identifier of the mixer that receives the message. You must cast the device ID to the HMIXER handle type. If you supply a handle instead of a device ID, the function fails and returns the MMSYSERR_NOSUPPORT error code.
uMsg
Custom mixer driver message to send to the mixer driver. This message must be above or equal to the MXDM_USER constant.
dwParam1
Parameter associated with the message being sent.
dwParam2
Parameter associated with the message being sent.
Return Values
Returns a value that is specific to the custom mixer driver message. Possible error values include the following.
| Value | Description |
| MMSYSERR_INVALHANDLE | The specified device handle is invalid. |
| MMSYSERR_INVALPARAM | The uMsg parameter specified in the MXDM_USER message is invalid. |
| MMSYSERR_NOSUPPORT | The deviceID parameter must be a valid device ID. |
| MMSYSERR_NOTSUPPORTED | The mixer device did not process the message. |
Remarks
User-defined messages must be sent only to a mixer driver that supports the messages. The application should verify that the mixer driver is the driver that supports the message by retrieving the mixer capabilities and checking the wMid, wPid, vDriverVersion, and szPname members of the MIXERCAPS structure.
