  • Article

This method statically registers a device with the device host.

HRESULT RegisterDevice(
  BSTR bstrXMLDesc,
  BSTR bstrProgIDDeviceControlClass,
  BSTR bstrInitString,
  BSTR bstrContainerId,
  BSTR bstrResourcePath,
  LONG nLifeTime,
  BSTR* pbstrDeviceIdentifier
);

Parameters

  • bstrXMLDesc
    [in] Specifies the XML device description template.
  • bstrProgIDDeviceControlClass
    [in] Specifies the ProgID of a device object that implements the IUPnPDeviceControl interface. This object must be an in-process COM server.
  • bstrInitString
    [in] Specifies the device-specific initialization string that is passed to the IUpnPDeviceControl::Initialize method.

    [in] Specifies a string that identifies the process group to which the device belongs. All devices with the same container identifier will be contained in the same process.
  • bstrResourcePath
    [in] Specifies the location of the resource directory of the device. This resource directory contains the icon files and service descriptions that are specified in the device description template.
  • nLifeTime
    [in] Specifies the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) time-out (in seconds) of the device after which the announcements will be refreshed. If the value is 0, then the default time-out of 1800 seconds is used. If a time-out of less than 900 seconds is specified, then an E_INVALIDARG error code is returned.
  • pbstrDeviceIdentifier
    [out] Specifies the device identifier that will be used to unregister and reregister a device.
