PnpObjectWatcher PnpObjectWatcher PnpObjectWatcher PnpObjectWatcher Class

The status associated with the asynchronous operation.

public : DeviceWatcherStatus Status { get; }public DeviceWatcherStatus Status { get; }Public ReadOnly Property Status As DeviceWatcherStatus// You can use this property in JavaScript.

Starts raising the events to inform the client that a PnpObject has been added, updated, or removed.

public : void Start()public void Start()Public Function Start() As void// You can use this method in JavaScript.

Remarks

An app calls Start to begin the search for devices. During this intial enumeration, the PnpObjectWatcher raises an Added event for each device that's found, until all devices are found. The PnpObjectWatcher raises an EnumerationCompleted event when the initial enumeration is complete, and continues to raise events if a device is added, updated, or removed.

The Start method can only be called when the PnpObjectWatcher is in the Created, Stopped or Aborted state. The Status property indicates the PnpObjectWatcher state. When re-starting the watcher, wait for the Stopped event before calling Start.

The following diagram shows how the PnpObjectWatcher transitions between the states represented by DeviceWatcherStatus enumeration.

Stops raising the events to inform the client that a PnpObject has been added, updated, or removed.

public : void Stop()public void Stop()Public Function Stop() As void// You can use this method in JavaScript.

Remarks

To stop a search for devices, an app calls Stop.

This call transitions the PnpObjectWatcher to the Stopping state and completes immediately. The watcher will transition to the Stopped state once all events that are already in the process of being raised have completed.

Callers may wait for the Stopped event if they need to know when the PnpObjectWatcher has stopped. Callers must wait for the Stopped event before they can call Start to restart the watcher. Callers may unsubscribe from events if they do not want to receive any additional events after Stop but do not want to wait for the Stopped event.

Occurs when a PnpObject is added to the collection enumerated by the PnpObjectWatcher.

public : event TypedEventHandler Added<PnpObjectWatcher,  PnpObject>public event TypedEventHandler Added<PnpObjectWatcher,  PnpObject>Public Event Added<PnpObjectWatcher,  PnpObject>// You can use this event in JavaScript.

Occurs when the enumeration of Pnp device objects has been completed.

public : event TypedEventHandler EnumerationCompleted<PnpObjectWatcher,  object>public event TypedEventHandler EnumerationCompleted<PnpObjectWatcher,  object>Public Event EnumerationCompleted<PnpObjectWatcher,  object>// You can use this event in JavaScript.

Occurs when a PnpObject is removed from the collection enumerated by the PnpObjectWatcher.

public : event TypedEventHandler Removed<PnpObjectWatcher,  PnpObjectUpdate>public event TypedEventHandler Removed<PnpObjectWatcher,  PnpObjectUpdate>Public Event Removed<PnpObjectWatcher,  PnpObjectUpdate>// You can use this event in JavaScript.

Occurs when the PnpObjectWatcher has stopped monitoring changes to the collection of Pnp device objects.

public : event TypedEventHandler Stopped<PnpObjectWatcher,  object>public event TypedEventHandler Stopped<PnpObjectWatcher,  object>Public Event Stopped<PnpObjectWatcher,  object>// You can use this event in JavaScript.

Occurs when the properties of a PnpObject in the collection enumerated by the PnpObjectWatcher are updated.

public : event TypedEventHandler Updated<PnpObjectWatcher,  PnpObjectUpdate>public event TypedEventHandler Updated<PnpObjectWatcher,  PnpObjectUpdate>Public Event Updated<PnpObjectWatcher,  PnpObjectUpdate>// You can use this event in JavaScript.
