SIMCONNECT_CLIENT_DATA_PERIOD

The SIMCONNECT_CLIENT_DATA_PERIOD enumeration type is used with the SimConnect_RequestClientData call to specify how often data is to be sent to the client.

 

Syntax

enum SIMCONNECT_CLIENT_DATA_PERIOD{
    SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_NEVER,
    SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_ONCE,
    SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_VISUAL_FRAME,
    SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_ON_SET,
    SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_SECOND,
    };

 

Members

Member	Description
SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_NEVER	Specifies that the data is not to be sent.
SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_ONCE	Specifies that the data should be sent once only. Note that this is not an efficient way of receiving data frequently, use one of the other periods if there is a regular frequency to the data request.
SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_VISUAL_FRAME	Specifies that the data should be sent every visual (rendered) frame.
SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_ON_SET	Specifies that the data should be sent whenever it is set.
SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_SECOND	Specifies that the data should be sent once every second.

 

Remarks

There is no limit to the number of system events that can be subscribed to, but use this function to improve performance when a system event notification is no longer needed.
