Sending Notifications

  • Article

 

The IHV Extensions DLL calls the Dot11ExtSendNotification function to send notifications to any service or application that has registered for the notification. In order to receive the notification, the service or application must register with the Auto Configuration Manager (ACM) by calling the WlanRegisterNotification function.

Note  The service or application must register for notifications with a source value of L2_NOTIFICATION_SOURCE_WLAN_IHV in order to receive notifications through calls to the Dot11ExtSendNotification function.

 

When calling Dot11ExtSendNotification, the IHV Extensions DLL passes a pointer to a L2_NOTIFICATION_DATA structure to the pNotificationData parameter. The L2_NOTIFICATION_DATA defines the type of the notification and can provide additional data about the notification to the IHV Extensions DLL.
