Hey Herbert,
I am trying to recollect from my memory and quick ddk
docs without opening my sources. In windows 2000/XP model, the AddPort and
AddPorttEx pointers in MONITOR2 should be NULL and are obselete so they
won't be called. The AddPortUI in the UI dll will get called which should do
a XcvData(...) to modify the printmon server dll's internal port list.
You should implement the XcvDataPort in the print mon server dll. as the
communication will happen via XcvData(...) spooler call into the printmon
server dll.
Hope this helps
