EXPERTCONFIG

The EXPERTCONFIG structure contains the configuration data of the expert. The expert overlays the RawConfigData member with an expert-specific structure.

typedef struct {
  DWORD RawConfigLength;
  BYTE RawConfigData[];
} EXPERTCONFIG, 
 *PEXPERTCONFIG;

Members

• RawConfigLength
  Total length of the structure, including the four bytes used for the member. Network Monitor uses the value when the structure is saved-to and read-from a disk drive.

• RawConfigData
  Configuration data. The expert must add the configuration data. For example, suppose that you had a data structure that looked like this.

  typedef struct
  {
      DWORD       RawConfigLength;   // Overlay of structure
      DWORD       PickNumEvents;
      DWORD       NumEventsSpecific;
      DWORD       PickSpeedThroughCapture;
      DWORD       PickStartup;
      DWORD       PickAttachProperties;
  } TESTEXPERTCONFIG;
  typedef TESTEXPERTCONFIG* LPTESTEXPERTCONFIG;
  

  Note that RawConfigLength ensures that the overlay works correctly. When you use the data, your code might look like this:

  BOOL WINAPI Configure( 
      HEXPERTKEY ExpertKey,
      PEXPERTCONFIG * ppConfig,
      PEXPERTSTARTUPINFO pStartupInfo,
      DWORD StartupFlags,
      HWND hWnd
  )
  {
      LPTESTEXPERTCONFIG  lpConfig;
  
      //...
      lpConfig = (LPTESTEXPERTCONFIG)(*ppConfig);
      //...
  }
