To properly use monitorEvents(...), the following strings must be defined in its
call:
•
LPCTSTR eventServer : if string is defined as "\\\\yourservername", then
the log is stored on a remote server - if the string is empty (NULL), then the
log is stored locally (note that four backlashes compiles to two in a string
constant).
•
LPCTSTR eventSource : the name of the target event generator, e.g.,
"rgreceiver"
The programming header file, RGSenderEvents.h, is located with the RGS Sender
installed software at:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics
Sender\include\RGSenderEvents.h
A simple pseudo-code agent using these functions looks like this:
#include
#include
#include "RGSenderEvents.h"
#define BUFFER_SIZE 1024 // safe EVENTLOGRECORD size for now
#define EVENT_SERVER NULL // remote server = "\\\\nodename"; local = NULL
#define EVENT_SRC "rgsender" // specifies specific event name source in
// HPRemote
BOOL processEvent(LPCTSTR eventServer, LPCTSTR eventSource, DWORD dwEventNum)
{
HANDLE h;
EVENTLOGRECORD *pevlr;
BYTE bBuffer[BUFFER_SIZE];
DWORD dwRead, dwNeeded;
BOOL result;
// Open, read, close event log ===========================================
if ((h = OpenEventLog(eventServer, eventSource)) == NULL)
{
... report error status ...
return true;
}
// Set the pointer to our buffer. Strings and data will get appended
// to the EVENTLOGRECORD structure.
pevlr = (EVENTLOGRECORD *) &bBuffer;
// Read the event specified by dwEventNum
result = ReadEventLog(h, // event log handle
EVENTLOG_SEEK_READ | // start at specific event
EVENTLOG_FORWARDS_READ, // advance forward
dwEventNum, // record to read
pevlr, // pointer to buffer
BUFFER_SIZE, // size of buffer
