This method gets information on the physical and virtual memory of the system on a remote Windows Embedded CE–based device.

Syntax 

void CeGlobalMemoryStatus(
  LPMEMORYSTATUS 
lpmst
);

Parameters

lpmst

[out] Pointer to a MEMORYSTATUSstructure in which information about current memory availability is stored.

Return Value

None.

Note:
This function generates a RAPI level error if it cannot properly marshal parameters between the Windows Embedded CE–based device and the desktop computer. In this case, you can trace the error by calling the IRAPISession::CeGetLastErrormethod.

Remarks

You can use the IRAPISession::CeGlobalMemoryStatusmethod to determine how much memory your application can allocate without severely impacting other applications.

The information returned by the IRAPISession::CeGlobalMemoryStatusfunction is volatile. There is no guarantee that two sequential calls to this function will get the same information.

Requirements

Header rapi2.h
Library ole32.lib, rapiuuid.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows Embedded CE 6.0 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
