CeRapiInit

This function attempts to initialize the Windows CE remote application programming interface (RAPI).

HRESULT CeRapiInit(void);

Return Values

S_OK indicates success. E_FAIL indicates failure.

Remarks

This function is a part of the remote application programming interface (RAPI), which invokes function calls on a Windows CE–based device. RAPI functions are supported only for applications that run on desktop platforms.

The functions CeRapiInit or CeRapiInitEx must be called before any remote API calls can be performed. They initialize the underlying communications layers between the desktop PC and the target platform device.

A call to CeRapiInit does not return until the connection is made, an error occurs, or another thread calls CeRapiUninit. The CeRapiInitEx function does not block the calling thread. Instead, it uses an event to signal when initialization is complete.

When writing applications for Windows CE versions 1.0 and 1.01, use the PegRapiInit function.

Requirements

Runs On Versions Defined in Include Link to
Windows CE OS 2.0 and later Rapi.h
