midiOutUnprepareHeader  TVI2RH 

The midiOutUnprepareHeader function cleans up the preparation performed by the midiOutPrepareHeaderC2JN6Y function.

MMRESULT midiOutUnprepareHeader(

    HMIDIOUT hmo,

 

    LPMIDIHDR lpMidiOutHdr,

 

    UINT cbMidiOutHdr

 

   );

 

 

Parameters

hmo

Handle of the MIDI output device. This parameter can also be the handle of a MIDI stream cast to HMIDIOUT.

lpMidiOutHdr

Address of a MIDIHDR8OW3.JO structure identifying the buffer to be cleaned up.

cbMidiOutHdr

Size, in bytes, of the MIDIHDR structure.

 

Return Values

Returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR if successful or an error otherwise. Possible error values include the following:

MIDIERR_STILLPLAYING

The buffer pointed to by lpMidiOutHdr is still in the queue.

MMSYSERR_INVALHANDLE

The specified device handle is invalid.

MMSYSERR_INVALPARAM

The specified pointer or structure is invalid.

 

Remarks

This function is complementary to the midiOutPrepareHeader function. You must call midiOutUnprepareHeader before freeing the buffer. After passing a buffer to the device driver with the midiOutLongMsg function, you must wait until the device driver is finished with the buffer before calling midiOutUnprepareHeader.

Unpreparing a buffer that has not been prepared has no effect, and the function returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR.
