EVT_BACNET_WRITEGROUP (STRUCT)¶

TYPE EVT_BACNET_WRITEGROUP : STRUCT

Declaration of the WriteGroup service hook.

This is the type declaration for the Write Group service application hook. This hook allows a BACnet application to override the default BACnet processing of a Write Group service request. This hook is given all of the parameters of a service request, and is responsible for all error checking (Device/object/Property existence, array index correctness, command priority correctness and any other service parameter given). A pointer to the routine is registered with the server by BACnetSetHook. A hook can be registered by the registering API routine at any time. One hook procedure is registered per service. If a hook is registered more than once for the same service, the new hook procedure replaces old one. A NULL procedure pointer can be used to deregister the hook. Hooks can access the local Properties maintained in the API database by using the BACnetStorePropertyInstance / BACnetRetrievePropertyInstance routines. A hook can choose not to override the default API processing of a service request by returning the value CB_STATUS_DEFAULT.

phTransaction	POINTER TO BYTE	This is the Transaction State Machine (TSM) handle for the current service request. It is generated by the BACnet API and is the first parameter given to the Hook- Completion functions.
sourceAddress	POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_ADDRESS	This is the MAC address of the BACnet addressed device from which the request has been sent.
destinationAddress	POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_ADDRESS	This is the MAC address of the device constructed by the application which has received the request.
pServiceInfo	POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_WRITE_GROUP_INFO	A pointer to the service information data structure. The fields of this data structure include group number, priority, and value.
