Microsoft DirectX 8.0 (C++) |
Connects the client to a Microsoft® DirectPlay® Voice session.
HRESULT Connect( PDVSOUNDDEVICECONFIG pSoundDeviceConfig, PDVCLIENTCONFIG pdvClientConfig, DWORD dwFlags );
If the method is processed synchronously and is successful, it returns DV_OK. By default, this method is run asynchronously and returns DVERR_PENDING. On error, this method will return one of the following values.
You must test the sound devices selected for playback and capture by invoking the setup wizard before connecting the client to the DirectPlay Voice session. On application startup, check the audio configuration by using IDirectPlayVoiceTest::CheckAudioSetup. If this method returns DVERR_RUNSETUP, the sound configuration specified has not been tested. The setup wizard needs to be run only once for any configuration.
If you specify a buffer that is not the right format, the method will return DVERR_INVALIDBUFFER.
If the buffer or a portion of the buffer is locked when DirectPlay Voice attempts to write to it, the method will return DVERR_INVALIDBUFFER, and DirectPlay Voice will disconnect from the session. You will also receive a DVMSGID_SESSIONLOST message. The hResult member of the associated structure will be set to DVERR_LOCKEDBUFFER. Subsequent method calls will return a DVERR_NOTCONNECTED error code.
If full duplex operation is not supported, DirectPlay Voice falls back to half duplex (listen only) mode. To determine if you are in half-duplex mode, call IDirectPlayVoiceClient::GetSoundDeviceConfig after you have completed the connection. If you are in half-duplex mode, the dwFlags member of the DVSOUNDDEVICECONFIG structure will have the DVSOUNDCONFIG_HALFDUPLEX flag set.
Regardless of how the interfaces are obtained, the DirectPlayVoiceClient object maintains a reference, through a call to AddRef, to the IDirectSound and IDirectSoundCapture interfaces it uses until IDirectPlayVoiceClient::Disconnect is called. When Disconnect is called, the DirectPlayVoiceClient object calls Release on both interfaces.
If this method is called synchronously by setting the DVFLAGS_SYNC flag, the DVMSG_CONNECTRESULT message is not sent to the message handler. In this case, the connection result is determined by the return value of this method.
If this method is called asynchronously (by default), calling this method immediately returns a DVERR_PENDING error value and proceeds to process the connection request in the background. The status of the connection is not be known until the DirectPlay Voice client generates a DVMSG_CONNECTRESULT message with the connection result.
Any calls to IDirectPlayVoiceClient::Connect while a connection is pending return DVERR_ALREADYPENDING. Additionally, only one connection can be pending at a time.
A transport session must be started on the specified DirectPlay object before calling this method. A successful call to IDirectPlayVoiceClient::Initialize must be made before calling the Connect method.
