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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

WIDM_START
 
        This message is sent to a waveform input device driver to begin
        waveform recording.
 
Parameters
        DWORD dwParam1
            Unused.
 
        DWORD dwParam2
            Unused.
 
Return value
        The return value is an error code, or zero (MMSYSERR_NOERROR) if
        the operation is successful. Possible error codes are:
 
        MMSYSERR_NOTENABLED
            The driver failed to load or initialize.
 
Comments
        Buffers are returned to the client either when full or when a
        WIDM_RESET message is received. The driver should place the
        actual length of data in the dwBytesRecorded field in the header.
         If input is already started, just return MMSYSERR_NOERROR.
