Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

MCI_OPEN_DRIVER
 
        This message is the version of the MCI_OPEN command sent by MCI
        to an MCI device.
 
Parameters
        DWORD dwFlags
            Contains the flags specified in the MCI_OPEN message.
 
        LPMCI_OPEN_PARMS lpOpenDriver
            Specifies a far pointer to the MCI_OPEN_PARMS data
            structure. This structure contains the information passed
            by the MCI_OPEN call from the application.
 
Return value
        Returns zero if successful. Otherwise, it returns an MCI error
        code.
 
Comments
        An MCI internal procedure intercepts the MCI_OPEN message sent
        by an application. After processing, the procedure calls the
        device with this message.
