WdfFdoRetrieveNextStaticChild method
[Applies to KMDF only]
The WdfFdoRetrieveNextStaticChild method retrieves a handle to the next framework device object in a list of child devices.
Syntax
WDFDEVICE WdfFdoRetrieveNextStaticChild( [in] WDFDEVICE Fdo, [in, optional] WDFDEVICE PreviousChild, [in] ULONG Flags );
Parameters
- Fdo [in]
- 
A handle to a framework device object that represents the parent device. 
- PreviousChild [in, optional]
- 
A handle to a framework device object that represents the child device that was returned by a previous call to WdfFdoRetrieveNextStaticChild. For the first call to WdfFdoRetrieveNextStaticChild, this value must be NULL. 
- Flags [in]
- 
A WDF_RETRIEVE_CHILD_FLAGS-typed enumerator value that identifies the type of child devices that the method should retrieve. This parameter cannot be zero. 
Return value
If the operation succeeds, the method returns a handle to a framework device object. Otherwise it returns NULL.
A system bug check occurs if the driver supplies an invalid object handle.
Remarks
Bus drivers that use static bus enumeration can call WdfFdoRetrieveNextStaticChild.
To retrieve the items in a list of child devices, the driver should:
- 
Call WdfFdoLockStaticChildListForIteration to lock the child list. 
- 
Repeatedly call WdfFdoRetrieveNextStaticChild to obtain the items in the list, one at a time, until the method returns NULL. 
- 
Call WdfFdoUnlockStaticChildListFromIteration to unlock the child list. 
For more information about static child lists, see Enumerating the Devices on a Bus.
Examples
The following code example searches a static child list until it finds a child device with a serial number that matches a specific value. For other example uses of WdfFdoRetrieveNextStaticChild, see the Toaster sample bus driver.
PPDO_DEVICE_DATA  pdoData;
WDFDEVICE  hChild;
NTSTATUS  status = STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER;
WdfFdoLockStaticChildListForIteration(Device);
while ((hChild = WdfFdoRetrieveNextStaticChild(
                                               Device,
                                               hChild,
                                               WdfRetrieveAddedChildren
                                               )) != NULL) {
    //
    // Obtain device object context data and check the
    // stored serial number.
    //
    pdoData = PdoGetData(hChild);
    if (SerialNo == pdoData->SerialNo) {
        status = STATUS_SUCCESS;
        WdfPdoRequestEject(hChild);
        break;
    }
}
WdfFdoUnlockStaticChildListFromIteration(Device);
