IDirectPlay3::EnumGroupsInGroup

IDirectPlay3 Interface

Enumerates all groups and shortcuts to groups that are contained within another group. Groups are placed inside other groups by creating them with the IDirectPlay3::CreateGroupInGroup method or by adding them to a group with the IDirectPlay3::AddGroupToGroup method. This method is not recursive.

You can't use EnumGroupsInGroup in a lobby session you're not connected to.

HRESULT EnumGroupsInGroup(
  DPID idGroup,
  LPGUID lpguidInstance,
  LPDPENUMPLAYERSCALLBACK2 lpEnumCallback,
  LPVOID lpContext,
  DWORD dwFlags
  );

Parameters

idGroup

DPID of the group whose subgroups are to be enumerated.

lpguidInstance

Pointer to a GUID identifying the session to be enumerated. This parameter is ignored unless the DPENUMPLAYERS_SESSION flag is specified. The GUID must equal one of the sessions enumerated by the IDirectPlay3::EnumSessions method.

lpEnumCallback

Pointer to the EnumPlayersCallback2 function that will be called for every group in the group that matches the criteria specified in dwFlags.

lpContext

Pointer to an application-defined context that is passed to each enumeration callback.

dwFlags

Flags specifying how the enumeration will be done. The default (dwFlags = 0) enumerates all groups in the current active session. You should OR together the flags that you want to specify. Only groups that meet all the criteria of the combined flags will be enumerated. For example, if you specify (DPENUMGROUPS_LOCAL | DPENUMGROUPS_STAGINGAREA) only groups that are local and are staging areas will be enumerated. If you specify (DPENUMGROUPS_LOCAL | DPENUMGROUPS_REMOTE), no groups will be enumerated because no group can be both local and remote.

Can be one or more of the following values:

DPENUMGROUPS_ALL

Enumerates all groups in the group.

DPENUMGROUPS_LOCAL

Enumerates groups in the group created locally by this DirectPlay object.

DPENUMGROUPS_REMOTE

Enumerates groups in the group created by remote DirectPlay objects.

DPENUMGROUPS_SESSION

Performs enumeration in the session identified by the lpguidInstance parameter. This flag can only be used if there is no current active session. This flag can't be used in lobby sessions.

DPENUMGROUPS_SHORTCUT

Enumerates groups that are shortcuts added to the group using IDirectPlay3::AddGroupToGroup. (A shortcut is a link to another group.)

DPENUMGROUPS_STAGINGAREA

Enumerates groups in the group that are staging areas. (Staging areas are used to marshal players together in order to launch a new session.)

Return Values

Returns DP_OK if successful, or one of the following error messages otherwise:

DPERR_INVALIDFLAGS

DPERR_INVALIDGROUP

DPERR_INVALIDPARAMS

DPERR_NOSESSIONS

DPERR_UNSUPPORTED

This method returns DPERR_INVALIDPARAMS if an invalid callback or an invalid guidInstance is supplied. It returns DPERR_NOSESSIONS if there is no active session. It returns DPERR_UNSUPPORTED if the session could not be enumerated.
