AME_TERMINATE message

The AME_TERMINATE message is used to terminate a plug-in. It is sent to all plug-in DLLs during ANY-maze shutdown, just before the DLL is unloaded. Note that only one AME_TERMINATE message will be sent to your DLL, irrespective of the number of plug-ins that it implements.

Parameters

guid

Not used - always NULL.

wParam

Not used - always 0.

lParam

Not used - always 0.

Return value

The only valid return codes from this message are:

•

AME_OK

•

AME_ERROR

It doesn't actually matter what you return, but it is nevertheless good practice to return AME_OK if your termination was performed successfully and AME_ERROR otherwise.

Remarks

In most cases you can just return AME_OK to this message and do nothing else. However, you may need to perform some clean-up, especially if you processed AME_INITIALISE. For example, if your AME_INITIALISE processing created a thread, then this would be the time to terminate it.
