PrlVm_RegEventHandler Function

Registers an event handler (callback function) with the virtual machine.

Syntax

PRL_RESULT PrlVm_RegEventHandler(
    PRL_HANDLE hObj, 
    PRL_EVENT_HANDLER_PTR handler, 
    PRL_VOID_PTR userData
);

File

PrlApiVm.h

Parameters

hObj

A handle of type PHT_VIRTUAL_MACHINE or PHT_DESKTOP_CONTROL.

handler

A pointer to the callback function that will handle events.

userData

A pointer to a user data that will be passed to the callback function.

Returns

PRL_RESULT. Possible values:

PRL_ERR_INVALID_ARG - invalid handle or null pointer was passed.

PRL_ERR_SUCCESS - function completed successfully.

Remarks

To use the callback functionality, you first have to implement a callback function. The callback function must have a specific signature (see PRL_METHOD_PTR for the prototype). After you register an event handler with a virtual machine, the callback function will be called every time an event is generated in the machine.

You can also register an event handler with a Parallels Service (instead of a particular virtual machine) using the PrlSrv_RegEventHandler function. If you register the event handler with the Parallels Service, you will be able to receive events from all of the virtual machines registered with that Parallels Service. For more information on events and asynchronous functions, see the Parallels Virtualization SDK Programmer's Guide.
