mixerOpen The mixerOpen function opens a specified mixer device and ensures that the device will not be removed until the application closes the handle. VB4-32,5,6 Declare Function mixerOpen Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mixerOpen" (phmx As Long, ByVal uMxId As Long, ByVal dwCallback As Long, ByVal dwInstance As Long, ByVal fdwOpen As Long) As Long |
Operating Systems Supported |
Requires Windows NT 3.1 or later; Requires Windows 95 or later |
· phmx Address of a variable that will receive a handle identifying the opened mixer device. Use this handle to identify the device when calling other audio mixer functions. This parameter cannot be NULL.
· uMxId Identifier of the mixer device to open. Use a valid device identifier or any HMIXEROBJ (see the mixerGetID function for a description of mixer object handles). A “mapper” for audio mixer devices does not currently exist, so a mixer device identifier of - 1 is not valid.
· dwCallback Handle of a window called when the state of an audio line and/or control associated with the device being opened is changed. Specify zero for this parameter if no callback mechanism is to be used.
· dwInstance User instance data passed to the callback function. This parameter is not used with window callback functions.
· fdwOpen Flags for opening the device. The following values are defined: CALLBACK_WINDOW The dwCallback parameter is assumed to be a window handle. MIXER_OBJECTF_AUX The uMxId parameter is an auxiliary device identifier in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the auxGetNumDevs function. MIXER_OBJECTF_HMIDIIN The uMxId parameter is the handle of a MIDI input device. This handle must have been returned by the midiInOpen function. MIXER_OBJECTF_HMIDIOUT The uMxId parameter is the handle of a MIDI output device. This handle must have been returned by the midiOutOpen function. MIXER_OBJECTF_HMIXER The uMxId parameter is a mixer device handle returned by the mixerOpen function. This flag is optional. MIXER_OBJECTF_HWAVEIN The uMxId parameter is a waveform-audio input handle returned by the waveInOpen function. MIXER_OBJECTF_HWAVEOUT The uMxId parameter is a waveform-audio output handle returned by the waveOutOpen function. MIXER_OBJECTF_MIDIIN The uMxId parameter is the identifier of a MIDI input device. This identifier must be in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the midiInGetNumDevs function. MIXER_OBJECTF_MIDIOUT The uMxId parameter is the identifier of a MIDI output device. This identifier must be in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the midiOutGetNumDevs function. MIXER_OBJECTF_MIXER The uMxId parameter is a mixer device identifier in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the mixerGetNumDevs function. This flag is optional. MIXER_OBJECTF_WAVEIN The uMxId parameter is the identifier of a waveform-audio input device in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the waveInGetNumDevs function. MIXER_OBJECTF_WAVEOUT The uMxId parameter is the identifier of a waveform-audio output device in the range of zero to one less than the number of devices returned by the waveOutGetNumDevs function. |
Returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR if successful or an error otherwise. Possible error values include the following: MMSYSERR_ALLOCATED The specified resource is already allocated by the maximum number of clients possible. MMSYSERR_BADDEVICEID The uMxId parameter specifies an invalid device identifier. MMSYSERR_INVALFLAG One or more flags are invalid. MMSYSERR_INVALHANDLE The uMxId parameter specifies an invalid handle. MMSYSERR_INVALPARAM One or more parameters are invalid. MMSYSERR_NODRIVER No mixer device is available for the object specified by uMxId. Note that the location referenced by uMxId will also contain the value - 1. MMSYSERR_NOMEM Unable to allocate resources. |
