midiInUnprepareHeader function (mmeapi.h)
The midiInUnprepareHeader function cleans up the preparation performed by the midiInPrepareHeader function.
Syntax
MMRESULT midiInUnprepareHeader(
HMIDIIN hmi,
LPMIDIHDR pmh,
UINT cbmh
);
Parameters
hmi
Handle to the MIDI input device.
pmh
Pointer to a MIDIHDR structure identifying the buffer to be cleaned up.
cbmh
Size of the MIDIHDR structure.
Return value
Returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR if successful or an error otherwise. Possible error values include the following.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The buffer pointed to by lpMidiInHdr is still in the queue. |
|
The specified pointer or structure is invalid. |
|
The specified device handle is invalid. |
Remarks
This function is complementary to midiInPrepareHeader. You must use this function before freeing the buffer. After passing a buffer to the device driver by using the midiInAddBuffer function, you must wait until the driver is finished with the buffer before using midiInUnprepareHeader. Unpreparing a buffer that has not been prepared has no effect, and the function returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR.
