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.
