Type MIDIOUTCAPS
wMid As Integer ' Manufacturer identifier of the device driver for the MIDI output device
' For a list of identifiers, see the Manufacturer Indentifier topic in the
' Multimedia Reference of the Platform SDK.
wPid As Integer ' Product Identifier Product of the MIDI output device. For a list of
' product identifiers, see the Product Identifiers topic in the Multimedia
' Reference of the Platform SDK.
vDriverVersion As Long ' Version number of the device driver for the MIDI output device.
' The high-order byte is the major version number, and the low-order byte is
' the minor version number.
szPname As String * MAXPNAMELEN ' Product name in a null-terminated string.
wTechnology As Integer ' One of the following that describes the MIDI output device:
' MOD_FMSYNTH-The device is an FM synthesizer.
' MOD_MAPPER-The device is the Microsoft MIDI mapper.
' MOD_MIDIPORT-The device is a MIDI hardware port.
' MOD_SQSYNTH-The device is a square wave synthesizer.
' MOD_SYNTH-The device is a synthesizer.
wVoices As Integer ' Number of voices supported by an internal synthesizer device. If the
' device is a port, this member is not meaningful and is set to 0.
wNotes As Integer ' Maximum number of simultaneous notes that can be played by an internal
' synthesizer device. If the device is a port, this member is not meaningful
' and is set to 0.
wChannelMask As Integer ' Channels that an internal synthesizer device responds to, where the least
' significant bit refers to channel 0 and the most significant bit to channel
' 15. Port devices that transmit on all channels set this member to 0xFFFF.
dwSupport As Long ' One of the following describes the optional functionality supported by
' the device:
' MIDICAPS_CACHE-Supports patch caching.
' MIDICAPS_LRVOLUME-Supports separate left and right volume control.
' MIDICAPS_STREAM-Provides direct support for the midiStreamOut function.
' MIDICAPS_VOLUME-Supports volume control.
'
' If a device supports volume changes, the MIDICAPS_VOLUME flag will be set
' for the dwSupport member. If a device supports separate volume changes on
' the left and right channels, both the MIDICAPS_VOLUME and the
' MIDICAPS_LRVOLUME flags will be set for this member.

Declare Function midiOutGetNumDevs Lib "winmm" () As Integer
' This function retrieves the number of MIDI output devices present in the system.
' The function returns the number of MIDI output devices. A zero return value means
' there are no MIDI devices in the system.
Declare Function midiOutGetDevCaps Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "midiOutGetDevCapsA" (ByVal uDeviceID As Long, lpCaps As MIDIOUTCAPS, ByVal uSize As Long) As Long
' This function queries a specified MIDI output device to determine its capabilities.
' The function requires the following parameters;
' uDeviceID- unsigned integer variable identifying of the MIDI output device. The
' device identifier specified by this parameter varies from zero to one
' less than the number of devices present. This parameter can also be a
' properly cast device handle.
' lpMidiOutCaps- address of a MIDIOUTCAPS structure. This structure is filled with
' information about the capabilities of the device.
' cbMidiOutCaps- the size, in bytes, of the MIDIOUTCAPS structure. Use the Len
' function with the MIDIOUTCAPS variable as the argument to get
' this value.

' uDeviceID- Identifier of the MIDI output device that is to be opened.
' dwCallback- Address of a callback function, an event handle, a thread
' identifier, or a handle of a window or thread called during
' MIDI playback to process messages related to the progress of
' the playback. If no callback is desired, set this value to 0.
' dwCallbackInstance- User instance data passed to the callback. Set this value to 0.
' dwFlags-Callback flag for opening the device. Set this value to 0.
'
' The function returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR if successful or one of the following error values:
' MIDIERR_NODEVICE- No MIDI port was found. This error occurs only when the mapper is opened.
' MMSYSERR_ALLOCATED- The specified resource is already allocated.
