Trying to implement events for Windows Core Audio API (Win7 64-bit Delphi XE5). My objective is to track the applications in the Volume Mixer to mute audio sessions that are not in my list and to adjust the volume for my target applications. I successfully enumerate the audio devices and the sessions, mute the audio and adjust the volume on a per-session basis but I am struggling with events. What I need is to get notified when new sessions are added and when sessions close so that I can enumerate again. I could use a timer to enumerate the session but I would prefer to avoid that.
The specific events that are not working are IAudioSessionNotification and IMMNotificationClient.
My questions are follows:
Is my approach to deriving classes for events too simplistic? I
found an example that is much more involved here:
Catch audio sessions events
, but it does not seem to work either (not tested personally)
Although IAudioEndpointVolumeCallback is "working" I think the code
smells because I am referencing UI elements in the OnNotify function
so I'd like some feedback/pointers. Is that a valid implementation?
I have two units: uAudioUI which contains the main form and MMDevApi unit that contains Core Audio interface.
The relevant parts of my code current looks like this (its a test app):
MMDevApi.pas
...
IAudioEndpointVolumeCallback = interface(IUnknown)
['{657804FA-D6AD-4496-8A60-352752AF4F89}']
function OnNotify(pNotify:PAUDIO_VOLUME_NOTIFICATION_DATA):HRESULT; stdcall;
end;
PIMMNotificationClient = ^IMMNotificationClient;
IMMNotificationClient = interface(IUnknown)
['{7991EEC9-7E89-4D85-8390-6C703CEC60C0}']
function OnDefaultDeviceChanged(const flow: EDataFlow; const role: ERole; const pwstrDefaultDevice: LPCWSTR):HRESULT; stdcall;
function OnDeviceAdded(const pwstrDeviceId: LPCWSTR):HRESULT; stdcall;
function OnDeviceRemoved(const pwstrDeviceId: LPCWSTR):HRESULT; stdcall;
function OnDeviceStateChanged(const pwstrDeviceID:LPCWSTR; const dwNewState: DWORD):HRESULT; stdcall;
function OnPropertyValueChanged(const pwstrDeviceID:LPCWSTR; const key: PROPERTYKEY):HRESULT; stdcall;
end;
IAudioSessionNotification = interface(IUnknown)
['{641DD20B-4D41-49CC-ABA3-174B9477BB08}']
function OnSessionCreated(const NewSession: IAudioSessionControl): HResult; stdcall;
end;
In the main form unit I derive classes for the required interfaces:
uAudioUI.pas
...
type
TEndpointVolumeCallback = class(TInterfacedObject, IAudioEndpointVolumeCallback)
public
function OnNotify(pNotify: PAUDIO_VOLUME_NOTIFICATION_DATA): HRESULT; stdcall;
end;
TMMNotificationClient = class(TInterfacedObject, IMMNotificationClient)
function OnDefaultDeviceChanged(const flow: EDataFlow; const role: ERole; const pwstrDefaultDevice: LPCWSTR):HRESULT; stdcall;
function OnDeviceAdded(const pwstrDeviceId: LPCWSTR):HRESULT; stdcall;
function OnDeviceRemoved(const pwstrDeviceId: LPCWSTR):HRESULT; stdcall;
function OnDeviceStateChanged(const pwstrDeviceID:LPCWSTR; const dwNewState: DWORD):HRESULT; stdcall;
function OnPropertyValueChanged(const pwstrDeviceID:LPCWSTR; const key: PROPERTYKEY):HRESULT; stdcall;
end;
TAudioMixerSessionCallback = class(TInterfacedObject, IAudioSessionEvents)
function OnDisplayNameChanged(NewDisplayName:LPCWSTR; EventContext:pGuid):HResult; stdcall;
function OnIconPathChanged(NewIconPath:LPCWSTR; EventContext:pGuid):HResult; stdcall;
function OnSimpleVolumeChanged(NewVolume:Single; NewMute:LongBool; EventContext:pGuid):HResult; stdcall;
function OnChannelVolumeChanged(ChannelCount:uint; NewChannelArray:PSingle; ChangedChannel:uint;
EventContext:pGuid):HResult; stdcall;
function OnGroupingParamChanged(NewGroupingParam, EventContext:pGuid):HResult; stdcall;
function OnStateChanged(NewState:uint):HResult; stdcall; // AudioSessionState
function OnSessionDisconnected(DisconnectReason:uint):HResult; stdcall; // AudioSessionDisconnectReason
end;
TAudioSessionCallback = class(TInterfacedObject, IAudioSessionNotification)
function OnSessionCreated(const NewSession: IAudioSessionControl): HResult; stdcall;
end;
For simplicity I use globals
private
{ Private declarations }
FDefaultDevice : IMMDevice;
FAudioEndpointVolume : IAudioEndpointVolume;
FDeviceEnumerator : IMMDeviceEnumerator;
FAudioClient : IAudioClient;
FAudioSessionManager : IAudioSessionManager2;
FAudioSessionControl : IAudioSessionControl2;
FEndpointVolumeCallback : IAudioEndpointVolumeCallback;
FAudioSessionEvents : IAudioSessionEvents;
FMMNotificationCallback : IMMNotificationClient;
FPMMNotificationCallback : PIMMNotificationClient;
FAudioSessionCallback : TAudioSessionCallback;
...
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
...
begin
hr := CoCreateInstance(CLASS_IMMDeviceEnumerator, nil, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IMMDeviceEnumerator, FDeviceEnumerator);
if hr = ERROR_SUCCESS then
begin
hr := FDeviceEnumerator.GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(eRender, eConsole, FDefaultDevice);
if hr <> ERROR_SUCCESS then Exit;
//get the master audio endpoint
hr := FDefaultDevice.Activate(IID_IAudioEndpointVolume, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, nil, IUnknown(FAudioEndpointVolume));
if hr <> ERROR_SUCCESS then Exit;
hr := FDefaultDevice.Activate(IID_IAudioClient, CLSCTX_ALL, nil, IUnknown(FAudioClient));
if hr <> ERROR_SUCCESS then Exit;
//volume handler
FEndpointVolumeCallback := TEndpointVolumeCallback.Create;
if FAudioEndpointVolume.RegisterControlChangeNotify(FEndPointVolumeCallback) = ERROR_SUCCESS then
FEndpointVolumeCallback._AddRef;
//device change / ex: cable unplug handler
FMMNotificationCallback := TMMNotificationClient.Create;
FPMMNotificationCallback := #FMMNotificationCallback;
if FDeviceEnumerator.RegisterEndpointNotificationCallback(FPCableUnpluggedCallback) = ERROR_SUCCESS then
FMMNotificationCallback._AddRef;
... and then finally, the class functions
{ TEndpointVolumeCallback }
function TEndpointVolumeCallback.OnNotify(pNotify: PAUDIO_VOLUME_NOTIFICATION_DATA): HRESULT;
var
audioLevel : integer;
begin
//NOTE: this works..
audioLevel := Round(pNotify.fMasterVolume * 100);
Form1.trackVolumeLevel.Position := audioLevel;
if pNotify.bMuted then
begin
form1.trackVolumeLevel.Enabled := False;
form1.spdMute.Caption := 'X';
end
else
begin
form1.trackVolumeLevel.Enabled := True;
form1.spdMute.Caption := 'O';
end;
Result := S_OK;
end;
{ TMMNotificaionClient }
function TMMNotificationClient.OnDefaultDeviceChanged(const flow: EDataFlow; const role: ERole; const pwstrDefaultDevice: LPCWSTR): HRESULT;
begin
//NOTE: this crashes - referencing a pointer to add 000000000
Form1.Label2.Caption := 'Audio device changed';
Result := S_OK;
end;
{ AudioMixerSessionCallback }
function TAudioMixerSessionCallback.OnSimpleVolumeChanged(NewVolume: Single; NewMute: LongBool; EventContext: PGUID): HRESULT;
begin
//NOTE: This works...
Form1.trackSessionVolumeLevel.Position := Round(NewVolume * 100);
Form1.Label2.Caption := EventContext.ToString;
Result := S_OK;
end;
{ AudioSessionCallback }
function TAudioSessionCallback.OnSessionCreated(const NewSession: IAudioSessionControl): HRESULT;
begin
//NOTE: This never gets called...
Form1.Label2.Caption := 'New audio session created';
Result := S_OK;
end;
I think the code is a translation from C/C++ ?
When using the TInterfacedObject, you don't need the _AddRef etc. methods, because the TInterfacedObject will handle those.
Another suggestion: I'm missing the threading implementation. Normally this is declared in the constructor or initialization section.
Example:
initialization
CoInitializeEx(Nil,
COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);
or
//Create method
inherited Create();
CoInitializeEx(Nil,
COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);
This is important when using an UI implementation. Otherwise you will not receive any events.
Non UI implementations (like drivers) should use the COINIT_MULTITHREADED model.
Some notes:
Instead of using pointers, like PGUID, use TGUID. When a field is declared in C++, it could be starting with ie pSingle. In Delphi this should be Single. When C++ is using pointer to pointers (like ppSingle) then - in most cases - in Delphi this would be a PSingle.
Also you declared function OnChannelVolumeChanged wrong.
It should be:
function OnChannelVolumeChanged(ChannelCount: UINT;
NewChannelArray: Array of Single;
ChangedChannel: UINT;
EventContext: TGUID): HResult; stdcall;

I want to write my own DirectShow filter to pull out packets of information for my own purposes. To do this, I used the guide to creating filters.
I did steps 1 to 5, and am stuck at step 6: failed to implement CreateInstance(). Can't instantiate the class because the MSDN example doesn't pass parameters, but code in Pascal requires (ObjectName: string; unk: IUnKnown; const clsid: TGUID). I used regsvr32, unfortunately I don’t know how to connect my DLL and I can’t think of it. The DSFMgr program also does not see my filter.
I read how filters are connected, tried to implement various searches, it's useless. Tried to connect manually via CLSID. Everything is useless. I know the answer is somewhere on the surface, but I don't see it. I can't figure out how DirectShow should see my library if it didn't exist in the first place. It's not logical. I've been trying to implement this for a very long time, but it doesn't work, I'm stuck.
Please don't recommend FFmpeg and the like. I don't want to use third party libraries. In DirectX, as far as I know it's built-in.
Step 6 example:
CUnknown * WINAPI CRleFilter::CreateInstance(LPUNKNOWN pUnk, HRESULT *pHr)
{
CRleFilter *pFilter = new CRleFilter();
if (pFilter== NULL)
{
*pHr = E_OUTOFMEMORY;
}
return pFilter;
}
I Implemented/converted it like this, but it doesn't work. Errors:
no variables sent
function TCRleFilter.CreateInstance(pUnk: PPUnknown; pHr: HRESULT): PUnknown;
var
pFilter: TCRleFilter;
begin
pFilter:= TCRleFilter.Create();
if pFilter = nil then pHr:= E_OUTOFMEMORY;
Result:= pFilter;
end;
I think at least a logical explanation should suffice.
The whole class:
unit Unit1;
{$WARN SYMBOL_PLATFORM OFF}

TCRleFilter = class(TBCTransformFilter)

TBCClassFactory.CreateFilter(TCRleFilter,'CRle_Filter', CLSID_CRleFilter, CLSID_LegacyAmFilterCategory, MERIT_DO_NOT_USE, 0, nil );
end.
Your class inherites from TBCTransformFilter and the needed parameters are defined as:
constructor TBCTransformFilter.Create(ObjectName: string; unk: IUnKnown; const clsid: TGUID);
Untested, but it should be much more correct than your attempt:
function TCRleFilter.CreateInstance
( pUnk: IUnknown // LPUNKNOWN
; var pHr: HRESULT // Pointer to variable = VAR
): PUnknown; // Pointer
var
oFilter: TCRleFilter; // Object, not pointer
begin
try // Failing constructors throw exceptions
oFilter:= TCRleFilter.Create( 'my RLE encoder', pUnk, CLSID_CRleFilter );
result:= oFilter; // In doubt cast via "PUnknown(oFilter)"
except // Constructor failed, oFilter is undefined
pHr:= E_OUTOFMEMORY;
result:= nil;
end;
end;
The var parameter ensures that assigned values inside the function also live on outside the function - otherwise you'd only have a local variable. Which is also the point (haha) of pointers in C++ parameters.
I want know if is possible hook a callback function for example like EnumWindowsProc() using inline hook approach? and if yes, could provide a code snippet (example) please?
Thank you.
EDITION:
EnumWindowsProc is a callback implemented in other app. I not call it inside my app.
And i want hook EnumWindowsProc in this other app, by dll injection.
You have to handle EnumWindows at first, then you have to replace pointer to original EnumWindowsProc to yourself.
My example is valid fow win32
unit Patch;
interface
procedure PatchEnumWindows(Patch: Boolean);
implementation
uses SysUtils, SyncObjs, Windows;
const
INSTR_SIZE = 6;
var
OldEnumWindows: array [0..INSTR_SIZE-1] of Byte;
EnumWindowsPatched: Boolean = False;
function PatchedEnumWindows(EnumWindowsProc: Pointer; Param: Pointer); stdcall;
begin
// You have to replace original EnumWindowsProc to yourself
end;
procedure ApiRedirect(OrigFunction, NewFunction: Pointer; var Old);
const
TEMP_JMP: array[0..INSTR_SIZE-1] of Byte = ($E9,$90,$90,$90,$90,$C3);
var
JmpSize: DWORD;
JMP: array [0..INSTR_SIZE-1] of Byte;
OldProtect: DWORD;
begin
Move(TEMP_JMP, JMP, INSTR_SIZE);
JmpSize := DWORD(NewFunction) - DWORD(OrigFunction) - 5;
if not VirtualProtect(LPVOID(OrigFunction), INSTR_SIZE, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, OldProtect) then
raise Exception.CreateFmt('%s', [SysErrorMessage(GetLastError)]);
Move(OrigFunction^, Old, INSTR_SIZE);
Move(JmpSize, JMP[1], 4);
Move(JMP, OrigFunction^, INSTR_SIZE);
VirtualProtect(LPVOID(OrigFunction), INSTR_SIZE, OldProtect, nil);
end;
procedure PatchEnumWindows(Patch: Boolean);
var
OrigEnumWindows: Pointer;
begin
if Patch <> EnumWindowsProcPatched then begin
OrigEnumWindows := GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle('user32.dll'), 'EnumWindows');
if Patch then begin
ApiRedirect(OrigEnumWindows, #PatchedEnumWindows, OldEnumWindows);
end
else begin
Move(OldEnumWindows, OrigEnumWindows, INSTR_SIZE);
end;
EnumWindowsPatched := Patch;
end;
end;
end.
How can I see if windows explorer is already opened with certain path ? I don't want my application opens many duplicated windows. I was unable to do it with this way :
var
H: hwnd;
begin
if FileExists(edt8.Text) then
begin
H := FindWindow(0, PChar(ExtractFilePath(edt8.Text)));
if H <> 0 then
ShowMessage('explorer already opened')//explorer bring to front
else
ShellExecute(Application.Handle, nil, 'explorer.exe',
PChar(ExtractFilePath(edt8.Text)), nil, SW_NORMAL);
end;
end;
IShellWindows::FindWindowSW method
There is a nice method FindWindowSW that should find an existing Shell window, which includes Windows Explorer windows as well, I'd say. So, in a hope I'll find an existing window easily I wrote this code:
uses
ActiveX, ShlObj, SHDocVw, ComObj;
function IDListFromPath(const Path: WideString): PItemIDList;
var
Count: ULONG;
Attributes: ULONG;
ShellFolder: IShellFolder;
begin
OleCheck(SHGetDesktopFolder(ShellFolder));
OleCheck(ShellFolder.ParseDisplayName(0, nil, PWideChar(Path), Count, Result, Attributes));
end;
function GetExplorerHandle(const Path: WideString): HWND;
var
IDList: PItemIDList;
Unused: OleVariant;
Location: OleVariant;
ShellWindows: IShellWindows;
begin
OleCheck(CoCreateInstance(CLASS_ShellWindows, nil, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, IID_IShellWindows, ShellWindows));
Unused := Unassigned;
IDList := IDListFromPath(Path);
PVariantArg(#Location).vt := VT_VARIANT or VT_BYREF;
PVariantArg(#Location).pvarVal := PVariant(IDList);
ShellWindows.FindWindowSW(Location, Unused, SWC_EXPLORER, Integer(Result), SWFO_INCLUDEPENDING);
end;
But it never finds the Windows Explorer window with the given folder path (it always returns 0). I've used SWC_EXPLORER class to search only for Windows Explorer windows, build the absolute ID list, used a proper VT_VARIANT | VT_BYREF variant for location (at least I hope so, if not, please let me know). And I also tried to return IDispatch by including the SWFO_NEEDDISPATCH option (method always returned nil reference). So I gave up on this method (haven't found any example).
IShellWindows enumeration
The following code was inspired by this article and this example. Here is a scheme:
1. IShellWindows.Item(n)
2. ⤷ IDispatch.QueryInterface(IWebBrowserApp)
3. ⤷ IWebBrowserApp.QueryInterface(IServiceProvider)
4. ⤷ IServiceProvider.QueryService(STopLevelBrowser, IShellBrowser)
5. ⤷ IShellBrowser.QueryActiveShellView
6. ⤷ IShellView.QueryInterface(IFolderView)
7. ⤷ IFolderView.GetFolder(IPersistFolder2)
8. ⤷ IPersistFolder2.GetCurFolder
9. ⤷ ITEMIDLIST
And some description:
As first you obtain the IShellWindows interface reference and iterate its items.
For each item, the IShellWindows interface returns window's IDispatch interface which you then query for an IWebBrowserApp interface reference.
The obtained IWebBrowserApp interface (for documentation refer to IWebBrowser2, as it's their implementation) provides except others also the information about the host window, like handle which can be later used for bringing the window to foreground. We need to go deeper though. So let's query this interface reference for the IServiceProvider interface (which is an accessor for getting interfaces for the given service).
Now from the top-most browser implementation service query its IShellBrowser interface. A reference of this interface is still not interesting for our aim.
The obtained IShellBrowser query for the displayed Shell view object.
Now we can finally say, if the iterated Shell window is not an Internet Explorer window. So far they were having common interfaces implemented. Now if we query the obtained IShellView for the IFolderView interface and it succeeds, it is not Internet Explorer and we can continue.
Query the obtained IFolderView reference for the IPersistFolder2 interface for the currently displayed folder object.
If we succeeded even there and we got IPersistFolder2 reference, let's get the ITEMIDLIST for the current folder object.
And if we succeeded even with this last step, we have ITEMIDLIST of the currently displayed folder of a Windows Explorer instance (or the same interface implementor) and we can finally check if the obtained ITEMIDLIST equals to the one we parsed for the input path. If so, bring that window to foreground, if not, continue to the next iteration.
And here is a Delphi code. I don't know how much do you need for your Delphi version; this was a bare minimum I've needed for D2009 (manually translated from Windows SDK 10.0.15063.0). It's not a best example; in real code you may prefer wrapping this into a class and have more flexible interface, but that's upon your design preference. And finally, if you have Delphi newer than 2009, you may not need the imported prototypes, if older, you might be missing some:

Result:=DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow(hwnd, pBlurBehind);
end;
begin
try
DWM_EnableBlurBehind(GetConsoleWindow(), True);
Writeln('See my glass effect');
Writeln('Go Delphi Go');
Readln;
except
on E:Exception do
Writeln(E.Classname, ': ', E.Message);
end;
end.
Does this have any requirement to run? What is the problem ?
It works for me (on Windows 10):
I would suggest checking for any errors, rather than ignoring them:
hr: HRESULT;
hr := DWM_EnableBlurBehind(GetConsoleWindow(), True);
OleCheck(hr);
Equivalently, you can avoid the need to check return values by using safecall calling convention (where the compiler will insert code to check the HRESULT and throw an exception if the function failed):
procedure DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow(hWnd: HWND; const pBlurBehind: DWM_BLURBEHIND); safecall; external 'dwmapi.dll' name 'DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow';//function to enable the glass effect
procedure DWM_EnableBlurBehind(hwnd : HWND; AEnable: Boolean; hRgnBlur : HRGN = 0; ATransitionOnMaximized: Boolean = False; AFlags: Cardinal = 1);
var
pBlurBehind : DWM_BLURBEHIND;
begin
pBlurBehind.dwFlags:=AFlags;
pBlurBehind.fEnable:=AEnable;
pBlurBehind.hRgnBlur:=hRgnBlur;
pBlurBehind.fTransitionOnMaximized:=ATransitionOnMaximized;
DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow(hwnd, pBlurBehind);
end;
Now, since you weren't checking errors anyway - you will now know the problem. On Windows 7 with desktop composition disabled, DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow returns:
0x80263001
{Desktop composition is disabled}
The operation could not be completed because desktop composition is disabled
I have the service name for a windows service in delphi, and I know how to get the handle from that as well. What I need to do is stop a service, and if the stop fails for some reason I need to kill the process associated with the service. The problem is that I have multiple services running from the same executable, so I can't use the executable name to kill the process. This means I need the process id to kill the proper associated process. How can I get this id or some way to kill the proper process from the service name or handle?
QueryServiceStatusEx?
Please note I have only accepted this solution so that a full delphi code solution is accepted, all due thanks to Jk though for pointing me on the correct path.

Ok, I've been able to figure out how to use the answer by Jk and have come up with this solution in delphi.
For reference, this is the link provided by Jk:

Or use DSiWin32 for many useful functions, including DSiGetProcessID. This code was written by StackOverflow user (and programmer) Gabr.
Here's the function, for your own reference. It will give you what you are looking for:
//Retrieves ID of the specified process. Requires Toolhelp API.
// #returns False if ID cannot be retrieved. Check GetLastError - if it is 0, process
// doesn't exist; otherwise it contains the Win32 error code.
// #author gabr
// #since 2004-02-12
//
function DSiGetProcessID(const processName: string; var processID: DWORD): boolean;
var
hSnapshot: THandle;
procEntry: TProcessEntry32;
begin
Result := false;
hSnapshot := CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0);
if hSnapshot = 0 then
Exit;
try
procEntry.dwSize := Sizeof(procEntry);
if not Process32First(hSnapshot, procEntry) then
Exit;
repeat
if AnsiSameText(procEntry.szExeFile, processName) then begin
processID := procEntry.th32ProcessID;
Result := true;
break; // repeat
end;
until not Process32Next(hSnapshot, procEntry);
finally DSiCloseHandleAndNull(hSnapshot); end;
end; { DSiGetProcessID }
