Allows the process to be notified of port events.

Syntax

HRESULT WatchForProviderEvents(
   PROVIDER_FLAGS       Flags,
   IDebugDefaultPort2*  pPort,
   AD_PROCESS_ID        processId,
   CONST_GUID_ARRAY     EngineFilter,
   REFGUID              guidLaunchingEngine,
   IDebugPortNotify2*   pEventCallback
);
int WatchForProviderEvents(
   enum_PROVIDER_FLAGS   Flags,
   IDebugDefaultPort2    pPort,
   AD_PROCESS_ID         ProcessId,
   CONST_GUID_ARRAY      EngineFilter,
   ref Guid              guidLaunchingEngine,
   IDebugPortNotify2     pEventCallback
);

Parameters

Flags
[in] A combination of flags from the PROVIDER_FLAGS enumeration. The following flags are typical for this call:

Flag Description
PFLAG_REMOTE_PORT Caller is running on remote machine.
PFLAG_DEBUGGEE Caller is currently being debugged (additional information about marshalling is returned for each node).
PFLAG_ATTACHED_TO_DEBUGGEE Caller was attached to but not launched by the debugger.
PFLAG_REASON_WATCH Caller wants to watch for events. If this flag is not set. then the callback event is removed and the caller no longer receives notifications.

pPort
[in] The port the calling process is running on.

processId
[in] An AD_PROCESS_ID structure holding the ID of the process that contains the program in question.

EngineFilter
[in] An array of GUIDs of debug engines associated with the process.

guidLaunchingEngine
[in] GUID of the debug engine that launched this process (if any).

pEventCallback
[in] An IDebugPortNotify2 object that receives the event notifications.

Return Value

If successful, returns S_OK; otherwise, returns an error code.

Remarks

When a caller wants to remove an event handler that was established with a previous call to this method, the caller passes the same parameters as it did the first time but leaves off the PFLAG_REASON_WATCH flag.

Example

The following example shows how to implement this method for a CDebugEngine object that exposes the IDebugProgramProvider2 interface.

    if (EVAL(pPort != NULL) && EVAL(pPortNotify != NULL))
    {

        // is actually debugging the process, and only if this is an attach or a LoRIE launch
