IHttpModuleRegistrationInfo::SetGlobalNotifications Method

Registers the global-level notifications for a module.

Syntax

virtual HRESULT SetGlobalNotifications(  
   IN CGlobalModule* pGlobalModule,  
   IN DWORD dwGlobalNotifications  
) = 0;  

Parameters

pGlobalModule
[IN] A pointer to a CGlobalModule class.

dwGlobalNotifications
[IN] A bitmask value that contains the global notifications to register. (Defined in Httpserv.h.)

Return Value

An HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Remarks

The SetGlobalNotifications method registers the request-level notifications for a CGlobalModule class.

The SetGlobalNotifications method requires a pointer to a CGlobalModule class, and IIS will automatically create an instance of that class.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to create an HTTP module that uses the RegisterModule function and the following methods to register a module for global-level and request-level notifications.

• The SetRequestNotifications method registers a CHttpModule class for a request-level OnBeginRequest notification.

• The SetPriorityForRequestNotification method sets the module's priority for request-level notifications.

• The SetGlobalNotifications method registers a CGlobalModule class for a global-level OnGlobalPreBeginRequest notification.

• The SetPriorityForGlobalNotification method sets the module's priority for global-level notification.

  The module responds to the registered notifications and writes entries to the application log in the Event Viewer.

Your module must export the RegisterModule function. You can export this function by creating a module definition (.def) file for your project, or you can compile the module by using the /EXPORT:RegisterModule switch. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Request-Level HTTP Module By Using Native Code.

You can optionally compile the code by using the __stdcall (/Gz) calling convention instead of explicitly declaring the calling convention for each function.
