Receives a data message from a queue object.

BOOLEAN ntxReceiveRtDataMessage(
    NTXHANDLE hQueue,
    LPVOID msgBuffer,
    DWORD msgBufferSize, 
    DWORD msWait,
    DWORD *pMsgSize); 

Parameters

hQueue

A handle for a valid queue object.

msgBuffer

A pointer to a contiguous buffer where the message is to be received.

msgBufferSize

Size on bytes of the message buffer.

msWait

The number of milliseconds for which the calling thread should wait for a message.

pMsgSize

A pointer to a DWORD location where the number of bytes actually received is returned.

Additional information

If a short message is available on the queue the data is received into the buffer specified by the msgBuffer parameter. If the buffer specified is not large enough to receive the next available message the call fails with status E_LIMIT and the call may be retried with a larger buffer. The required buffer size will be returned through the pMsgSize parameter.

If a long message has been sent to the queue, the call will return FALSE with a special status of E_NO_LOCAL_BUFFER (returned through ntxGetLastRtError). The message buffer will contain a structure of type MSG_DESCRIPTOR which is used to identify the long message. The caller must then call GetRtLongDataMessage to retrieve the data.

Returns

Returns TRUE on success. Returns FALSE on failure. Call ntxGetLastRtError() to find the failure status. Possible status values include:
