Registers the provider.

Syntax

ULONG EVNTAPI EventRegister(
  LPCGUID         ProviderId,
  PENABLECALLBACK EnableCallback,
  PVOID           CallbackContext,
  PREGHANDLE      RegHandle
);

Parameters

ProviderId

GUID that uniquely identifies the provider.

EnableCallback

Callback that ETW calls to notify you when a session enables or disables your provider. Can be NULL.

CallbackContext

Provider-defined context data to pass to the callback when the provider is enabled or disabled. Can be NULL.

RegHandle

Registration handle. The handle is used by most provider function calls. Before your provider exits, you must pass this handle to EventUnregister to free the handle.

Return Value

Returns ERROR_SUCCESS if successful.

Remarks

Use this function to register your provider if you call EventWrite to write your events.

A process can register up to 1,024 provider GUIDs; however, you should limit the number of providers that your process registers to one or two. This limit includes those registered using this function and the RegisterTraceGuids function.

Prior to Windows Vista:  There is no limit to the number of providers that a process can register.
