This function creates a remote heap in a process. The heap is read-only to the client process unless the HEAP_CLIENT_READWRITE flag is specified.

Syntax

HANDLE  CeRemoteHeapCreate (
  DWORD dwProcessId,
  DWORD dwFlags
);

Parameters

  • dwProcessId
    Process in which the remote heap is to be created.
  • dwFlags
    Remote heap creation flag. The HEAP_CLIENT_READWRITE flag is the only supported flag. The client will only have r/o access to heap data if the flag is specified.

Return Value

The handle to a heap indicates success. NULL indicates failure.

Remarks

The safe remote heap functions: CeRemoteHeapCreate and CeRemoteHeapTranslatePointer, provide a safe and efficient way of dynamically allocating and freeing memory asynchronously in an arbitrary client process.

Requirements

Header pkfuncs.h
Library coredll.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows Embedded CE 6.0 and later
