HidD_GetFeature routine
The HidD_GetFeature routine returns a feature report from a specified top-level collection.
Syntax
BOOLEAN __stdcall HidD_GetFeature( _In_ HANDLE HidDeviceObject, _Out_ PVOID ReportBuffer, _In_ ULONG ReportBufferLength );
Parameters
- HidDeviceObject [in]
-
Specifies an open handle to a top-level collection.
- ReportBuffer [out]
-
Pointer to a caller-allocated HID report buffer that the caller uses to specify a report ID. HidD_GetFeature uses ReportBuffer to return the specified feature report.
For more information about this parameter, see the Remarks section.
- ReportBufferLength [in]
-
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the report buffer. The report buffer must be large enough to hold the feature report -- excluding its report ID, if report IDs are used -- plus one additional byte that specifies a nonzero report ID or zero.
Return value
If HidD_GetFeature succeeds, it returns TRUE; otherwise, it returns FALSE.
Remarks
Before it calls the HidD_GetFeature routine, the caller must do the following:
-
If the top-level collection includes report IDs, the caller must set the first byte of the ReportBuffer parameter to a nonzero report ID.
-
If the top-level collection does not include report IDs, the caller must set the first byte of the ReportBuffer parameter to zero.
The feature report is returned in the ReportBuffer parameter. Depending on the report ID, the caller parses the report by calling one of the following functions:
- HidP_GetButtonCaps
- HidP_GetData
- HidP_GetExtendedAttributes
- HidP_GetScaledUsageValue
- HidP_GetSpecificButtonCaps
- HidP_GetSpecificValueCaps
- HidP_GetUsages
- HidP_GetUsagesEx
- HidP_GetUsageValue
- HidP_GetUsageValueArray
- HidP_GetValueCaps
For an example of how to parse a HID report, see the HClient sample application. This sample is located in the MSDN Code Gallery.
Only user-mode applications can call HidD_GetFeature. Kernel-mode drivers can use an IOCTL_HID_GET_FEATURE request.
