The
CreateActCtx function creates an activation context.
Syntax
HANDLE CreateActCtx(
__inout PACTCTX pActCtx
);
Parameters
- pActCtx [in, out]
-
Pointer to an
ACTCTX structure that contains information about the activation context to be created.
Return Value
If the function succeeds, it returns a handle to the returned activation context. Otherwise, it returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.
This function sets errors that can be retrieved by calling
GetLastError. For an example, see
Retrieving the Last-Error Code. For a complete list of error codes, see
System Error Codes.
Remarks
Set any undefined bits in dwFlags of
ACTCTX to 0. If any undefined bits are not set to 0, the call to
CreateActCtx that creates the activation context fails and returns an invalid parameter error code. The handle returned from
CreateActCtx is passed in a call to
ActivateActCtx to activate the context for the current thread.
