The following example code demonstrates how to obtain Z data. For a complete
example, see the included source code for ZAXIS.EXE.
#include "mmioctl.h"
HANDLE hndFile; // Win32 handle of "MMDev" device
LONG IoctlCode; // Function to perform
ULONG DataLength; // Output buffer data length
DWORD ReturnedLength; // Actual number of bytes returned
LONG IOBuffer; // Input/output system buffer
BOOL IoctlResult; // Result of operation
//
// Open Win32 touchscreen device(MMDev)
//
hndFile = CreateFile( // Open the device "MMDev"
"\\\\.\\MMDev",
GENERIC_READ,
FILE_SHARE_READ,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
NULL
);
if (hndFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {// Was the device opened?
MessageBox(NULL, "Unable to open touchscreen",
"Driver Loaded?", MB_OK);
return(0);
}
// See if controller supports Z before going any further
IOBuffer = 0;
IoctlCode = IOCTL_MM_ZAXIS_SUPPORT;
IoctlResult = 0;
DataLength = 4;
IoctlResult = DeviceIoControl(
hndFile, // Handle to device
IoctlCode, // IO Control code for Read
NULL, // We don't need input data
0, // No input buffer required, NULL bytes
&IOBuffer, // Buffer from driver.
DataLength, // Length of buffer in bytes.
&ReturnedLength, // Bytes placed in DataBuffer.
NULL // NULL means wait till op. completes.
);
if (!IoctlResult) // No z

capabilities",
"NO Z", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
//
// Call the driver to get Z values
