DEV_SYSTEMNOTIFYPDD (41h) - Call Data (number of bytes varies with the value of Action)

Call Data (number of bytes varies with the value of Action)

The combination of the Length field value and Action field values define the Call Data area size, format, and field definitions. The valid Call Data formats supported by this interface are defined as follows:

Action=32. Start of session switch. Call Data contains the following fields to represent session-switching (incoming and outgoing session) information:

┌─────────────────────────┬───────┐
│Field                    │Length │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│Session In ID            │WORD   │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│Session In Type          │WORD   │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│Session Out ID           │WORD   │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│Session Out Type         │WORD   │
└─────────────────────────┴───────┘

Action=64. End of session switch. Call Data contains the following fields to represent session-switching information:

┌─────────────────────────┬───────┐
│Field                    │Length │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│Session In ID            │WORD   │

├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│Session Out ID           │WORD   │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│Session Out Type         │WORD   │
└─────────────────────────┴───────┘

Length=24

Action=128. AIM pre-save verify. This type of notification is issued to device drivers to verify that the new AIM parameters are valid. The new values are not actually set until the AIM post-save activate notification.

Action=256. AIM post-save activate. The Call Data area format for Length=24 (all Action values) is defined as follows:

┌─────────────────────────┬───────┐
│Field                    │Length │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│AIM_Errors               │DWORD  │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│AIM_Active               │WORD   │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│AIM_Timeout              │WORD   │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│AIM_FKAccept             │DWORD  │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│AIM_FKRate               │DWORD  │
├─────────────────────────┼───────┤
│AIM_FKDelay              │DWORD  │
└─────────────────────────┴───────┘

AIM_Errors

Contains a return bit mask that identifies the specific AIM parameter value/field that caused an error condition. A set bit (value of 1) indicates an error. The AIM_Errors bit definitions are as follows:

Bits 31-5

Reserved. Must equal 0.
Bit 4
Set, if AIM_FKDelay value error
Bit 3
Set, if AIM_FKRate value error
Bit 2
Set, if AIM_FKAccept value error
Bit 1
Set, if AIM_Timeout value error
Bit 0
Set, if AIM_Active value error
Note: Device drivers performing AIM parameter validation must do so on the pre-save notification calls. Error return codes are not meaningful and are not returned on AIM post-save notification calls.
AIM_Active
Contains the Special Needs Status flag. Possible AIM_Active values are:
• Indicates that AIM Support is currently inactive (FALSE).

• Indicates that AIM Support is currently active (TRUE).
AIM_Timeout
Contains the number of seconds that the Special Needs methods should remain active once keyboard usage has ceased. A value of 0 indicates no timeout.
AIM_FKAccept
Contains the number of milliseconds a key must be pressed in order for it to be recognized as a key press event. A value of 0 indicates that no additional time is applied to the standard hardware response time.
AIM_FKRate
Indicates the number of milliseconds between recognized typematic key press events when a key is held down. A value of 0 indicates that no additional time is applied to the standard hardware rate.
AIM_FKDelay
Contains the number of milliseconds that a key press must be held down before generating typematic support with AIM_FKRate. A value of 0 indicates typematic keystroke support is disabled.
