SideShowMgr_Start (Windows CE 5.0)

10/16/2008

This function starts the interaction between the application and the SideShow manager API. It creates a SideShow connection with the Windows Vista computer, if one is not already in progress. SideShowMgr_Start will return immediately and the window specified by hShellNotificationWindow will receive updates on the connection status, through WM_SIDESHOW_CONNECTED and WM_SIDESHOW_DISCONNECTED messages. This function should be called once, on start-up, by an instance of an application.

Syntax

BOOL SideShowMgr_Start(
  HWND hShellNotificationWindow,
  UINT uiGuidCount,
  GUID* pguidContent
);

Parameters

• hShellNotificationWindow
  A window created by the application to receive SideShow messages. Messages will be received until SideShowMgr_Stop is called or the window is destroyed (that is, when IsWindow returns false).

• uiGuidCount
  The number of GUIDs in the array.

• pguidContent
  An array of GUIDs describing the content types that the application is capable of handling. Only messages pertinent to content of these types will be forwarded to the application. For more information about the content types, see Platform-Defined Endpoints.
