CreatePropertyDatabase function

The CreatePropertyDatabase function creates a property database that stores the properties of a protocol.

Syntax

DWORD WINAPI CreatePropertyDatabase(
  _In_ HPROTOCOL hProtocol,
  _In_ DWORD     nProperties
);

Parameters

hProtocol [in]

Handle of the protocol that is associated with the database. When Network Monitor calls the Register function, Network Monitor passes the protocol handle to the parser DLL.

nProperties [in]

Number of properties stored in the database. Set this parameter to the number of properties that the protocol supports.

Return value

If the function is successful, the return value is NMERR_SUCCESS.

If the function is unsuccessful, the return value is an error code.

Remarks

The CreatePropertyDatabase function should be called only when implementing the Register function. The parser uses CreatePropertyDatabase to create a property database that describes the properties of a protocol. Network Monitor uses the database to interpret the information within the protocol.

The CreatePropertyDatabase function allocates the structures that Network Monitor needs to maintain a property database.
