MIM_DATA message

The MIM_DATA message is sent to a MIDI input callback function when a MIDI message is received by a MIDI input device.

MIM_DATA 
dwParam1 = dwMidiMessage 
dwParam2 = dwTimestamp 

Parameters

dwMidiMessage

MIDI message that was received. The message is packed into a doubleword value as follows:

Requirement Value Description
High word High-order byte Not used.
Low-order byte Contains a second byte of MIDI data (when needed).
Low word High-order byte Contains the first byte of MIDI data (when needed).
Low-order byte Contains the MIDI status.

The two MIDI data bytes are optional, depending on the MIDI status byte.

dwTimestamp

Time that the message was received by the input device driver. The time stamp is specified in milliseconds, beginning at zero when the midiInStart function was called.

Return Value
