CLUSCTL_GROUP_ENUM_COMMON_PROPERTIES control code

Retrieves a list of the read/write group common property names for a group. Applications use this control code as a ClusterGroupControl parameter.

ClusterGroupControl( 
  hGroup,                                // group handle
  hHostNode,                             // optional node handle
  CLUSCTL_GROUP_ENUM_COMMON_PROPERTIES,  // this control code
  NULL,                                  // input buffer (not used)
  0,                                     // input buffer size (not used)
  lpOutBuffer,                           // output buffer: array of strings
  cbOutBufferSize,                       // output buffer size (bytes)
  lpcbBytesReturned                      // resulting data size (bytes)
);

Parameters

The following control code function parameter is specific to this control code. For complete parameter descriptions, see ClusterGroupControl.

lpOutBuffer

On a successful return, lpOutBuffer contains an array of NULL-terminated Unicode strings with an additional NULL-terminator appended to the last string. Each string in the array contains the name of a read/write group common property.

Return value

ClusterGroupControl returns one of the following values.

ERROR_SUCCESS

0

The operation completed successfully. The lpcbBytesReturned parameter points to the actual size of the returned data.

ERROR_MORE_DATA

234 (0xEA)

The output buffer pointed to by lpOutBuffer was not large enough to hold the data resulting from the operation. The lpcbBytesReturned parameter points to the size required for the output buffer.

System error code

If any other value is returned, then the operation failed. The value of lpcbBytesReturned is unreliable.

Remarks

The CLUSCTL_GROUP_ENUM_COMMON_PROPERTIES control code returns only property names, not property values. To retrieve values for common group properties, use CLUSCTL_GROUP_GET_COMMON_PROPERTIES and CLUSCTL_GROUP_GET_RO_COMMON_PROPERTIES.

Do not use any group control codes in any resource DLL entry point function. Group control codes can safely be called from a worker thread. For more information, see Function Calls to Avoid in Resource DLLs.
