WdfUsbTargetDeviceFormatRequestForString method

[Applies to KMDF and UMDF]

The WdfUsbTargetDeviceFormatRequestForString method builds a request for the USB string descriptor that is associated with a USB device's string index value.

Syntax

C++


NTSTATUS WdfUsbTargetDeviceFormatRequestForString(
  [in]            WDFUSBDEVICE UsbDevice,
  [in]            WDFREQUEST Request,
  [in]            WDFMEMORY Memory,
  [in, optional]  PWDFMEMORY_OFFSET Offset,
  [in]            UCHAR StringIndex,
  [in, optional]  USHORT LangID
);

Parameters

UsbDevice [in]: A handle to a USB device object that was obtained from a previous call to WdfUsbTargetDeviceCreateWithParameters.
Request [in]: A handle to a framework request object.
Memory [in]: A handle to a framework memory object.
Offset [in, optional]: A pointer to a caller-allocated WDFMEMORY_OFFSET structure that supplies optional byte offset and length values. The framework uses these values to determine the beginning address and length, within the output buffer, for storing the string descriptor. If this pointer is NULL, the descriptor is stored at the beginning of the output buffer, and the maximum string length is the buffer length.
StringIndex [in]: An index value that identifies the string. This index value is obtained from a USB_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR, USB_CONFIGURATION_DESCRIPTOR, or USB_INTERFACE_DESCRIPTOR structure.
LangID [in, optional]: A language identifier. The string will be retrieved for the language that this identifier specifies. For information about obtaining a device's supported language identifiers, see the USB specification.

Return value

WdfUsbTargetDeviceFormatRequestForString returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, this method can return one of the following values:

Return code	Description
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER	The buffer's byte count was not an even number.
STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES	There was insufficient memory.
STATUS_INTEGER_OVERFLOW	The offset that Offset specifies was invalid.

This method also might return other NTSTATUS values.

A bug check occurs if the driver supplies an invalid object handle.

Remarks

After WdfUsbTargetDeviceFormatRequestForString returns, the driver must call WdfRequestSend to send the request. After WdfRequestSend returns, the driver can pass the Memory handle to WdfMemoryGetBuffer to obtain a pointer to the memory buffer. The buffer will contain a USB_STRING_DESCRIPTOR structure that describes the string descriptor.

Examples

The following code example creates a request object and a memory object, and it passes the object handles to WdfUsbTargetDeviceFormatRequestForString. Then, the example sets a CompletionRoutine callback function for the request and sends the request to an I/O target.


NTSTATUS status;
PDEVICE_CONTEXT  deviceContext = GetDeviceContext(device);
WDFREQUEST  request;
WDFMEMORY  memHandle;
WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES  attributes;

WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES_INIT(&attributes);

status = WdfRequestCreate(
                          &attributes,
                          WdfUsbTargetDeviceGetIoTarget(deviceContext->UsbTargetDevice),
                          &request
                          );

if (!NT_SUCCESS(status)){
    return status;
}
status = WdfMemoryCreate(
                         WDF_NO_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES,
                         NonPagedPool,
                         0,
                         STR_DESC_STRING_SIZE,
                         &memHandle,
                         NULL
                         );
if (!NT_SUCCESS(status)){
    WdfObjectDelete(request);
    return status;
}
status = WdfUsbTargetDeviceFormatRequestForString(
                         deviceContext->UsbTargetDevice,
                         request,
                         memHandle,
                         NULL,
                         deviceContext->UsbDeviceDescr.iManufacturer,
                         0x0409
                         );
if (NT_SUCCESS(status)) {
    WdfRequestSetCompletionRoutine(
                                   request,
                                   MyCompletionRoutine,
                                   NULL
                                   );

    if (WdfRequestSend(
                       request,
                       WdfUsbTargetDeviceGetIoTarget(deviceContext->UsbTargetDevice),
                       NULL
                       )) {
        status = STATUS_PENDING;
    }
}
else {
    WdfObjectDelete(memHandle);
    WdfObjectDelete(request);
    return status;
}
