You want to get MIDI data from a closed port in other words??

No, I think (s)he wants to know what to put between the open and close function calls to get the MIDI data. Can I suggest looking at the MSDN for what the functions are?

Hey dude!

Cool that you're messing with midi!
check these things out :

- Please make sure that your callback-type is correct.
CALLBACK_FUNCTION is often used (if u program in C, and the
callbackfunction is implemented in the same .obj). Otherwise
use CALLBACK_THREAD or CALLBACK_WINDOW (if u want to pass the
midimsg's to another dialog/window or thread), but forget these.

- Make sure u call midiInStart(..) (else nothing will happen)

- Your callback function must be declared in the following format :
void CALLBACK myMidiInCallback(HMIDIIN _hMidiIn,
UINT wMsg,
DWORD dwInstance,
DWORD dwParam1,
DWORD dwParam2){

/* ...do stuff with incoming midi msg's... */
/* place a 'MessageBox(NULL,"YEAH!! I receive midi in!",MB_OK);*/
}

- make sure you extract the midi-bytes from the 'wMsg' parameter with
functions like LOWORD(wMsg) or HIWORD(wMsg). Try to search for a
win32 C example sourcecode to see how its done.

good luck and keep the funky coding going!
