  • Article

The FwpmNetEventUnsubscribe0 function is used to cancel a net event subscription and stop receiving notifications.

Syntax

DWORD FwpmNetEventUnsubscribe0(
  [in]      HANDLE engineHandle,
  [in, out] HANDLE eventsHandle
);

Parameters

[in] engineHandle

Type: HANDLE

Handle for an open session to the filter engine. Call FwpmEngineOpen0 to open a session to the filter engine.

[in, out] eventsHandle

Type: HANDLE

Handle of the subscribed event notification. This is the returned handle from the call to FwpmNetEventSubscribe0.

Return value

Type: DWORD

Remarks

If the callback is currently being invoked, this function will not return until it completes. Thus, when calling this function, you must not hold any locks that the callback may also try to acquire lest you deadlock.

It is not necessary to unsubscribe before closing a session; all subscriptions are automatically canceled when the subscribing session terminates.

This function cannot be called from within a transaction. It will fail with FWP_E_TXN_IN_PROGRESS. See Object Management for more information about transactions.

FwpmNetEventUnsubscribe0 is a specific implementation of FwpmNetEventUnsubscribe. See WFP Version-Independent Names and Targeting Specific Versions of Windows for more information.
