This function returns the status of the main and backup batteries.
BOOL BatteryDrvrGetStatus( PSYSTEM_POWER_STATUS_EX2 pStatus , PBOOL pfBatteriesChangedSinceLastCall );
Parameters
- pStatus
- Pointer to the return buffer containing the battery status information.
- pfBatteriesChangedSinceLastCall
- Pointer to a flag that the function sets to TRUE if the
system's batteries have been replaced or changed since the last
call to this function.
Return Values
TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure.
Remarks
Implement this GWES function as part of porting native device drivers.
The syntax for this function is different in Windows CE version 2.12 than in previous versions of the operating system. This function now uses the SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS_EX2structure, instead of the BATTERY_STATUSstructure, to return the battery status. The new structure contains additional fields to support batteries that can report complex status information. If you are writing a battery driver for a previous version of Windows CE, you should use the following definition of the function BatteryDrvrGetStatus:
BOOL BatteryDrvrGetStatus( PBATTERY_STATUS pSystemPowerStatusEx );
Parameters
- pSystemPowerStatusEx
- Pointer to the buffer in which the battery status information
is to be returned.
Requirements
Runs on Versions Defined in Include Link to Windows CE OS 1.0 and later Battery.h Acmdwrap.lib Note This API is part of the complete Windows CE OS package as provided by Microsoft. The functionality of a particular platform is determined by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and some devices may not support this API.
