Implementing NEW service provide (SP) with CEN-XFS compliance

We are trying to develop windows application + device driver with CEN XFS compliance.Also, NOOB to WINDOWS applications.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEN/XFS

simple architectural flow:

   Windows Application
           |

 |      XFS APIs         |
    (CEN/XFS SDK DLL)
 |                       |
 |      XFS SPIs         |
 |_____________________|---XFS Manager   
           |
           |
    Service providers (SP)
    (DEVICE DRIVER)

To understand the SP's functionality, we recently took one of the device vendors SP's DLL for accessing their device and we were able to successfully communicate with their device using our windows application(Eclipse MINGW based).

Then we started to check for some sample SP source in internet to try our implementation. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B60pejPe6yiSejRGQ3JnLUl4dzA/view)

With the linked source we were able to compile and create an output DLL. But , when we tried to access the SP, It always return error.

With windows sample application, we just tried to open the device with call (WFSOPEN) which always returned (-15 WFS_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR ) or (-29 WFS_ERR_INVALID_SERVPROV)

Trial FLow 1 :

    Application Call to manager:

        hResult = WFSOpen(    "QuantumT",    hApp,lpszAppID,    dwTraceLevel,dwTimeOut,    VER_SPI_REQUIRE,&SrvcVersion,&SPIVersion,&hService);    

    manager translates WFSOPEN call to SP's WFPOPEN call:

        HRESULT WINAPI  WFPOpen(HSERVICE hService, LPSTR lpszLogicalName, HAPP hApp, LPSTR lpszAppID, DWORD dwTraceLevel, DWORD dwTimeOut, HWND hWnd, 
            REQUESTID ReqID, HPROVIDER hProvider, DWORD dwSPIVersionsRequired, LPWFSVERSION lpSPIVersion, DWORD dwSrvcVersionsRequired, LPWFSVERSION lpSrvcVersion)

    With above call flow I get (-29 WFS_ERR_INVALID_SERVPROV) as an error for my application

Trial FLow 2 (Just removed WINAPI interface for WFPOPEN in SP):

    Application Call to manager:
        hResult = WFSOpen(    "QuantumT",    hApp,lpszAppID,    dwTraceLevel,dwTimeOut,    VER_SPI_REQUIRE,&SrvcVersion,&SPIVersion,&hService);    

    manager translates WFSOPEN call to SP's WFPOPEN call:
        HRESULT  WFPOpen(HSERVICE hService, LPSTR lpszLogicalName, HAPP hApp, LPSTR lpszAppID, DWORD dwTraceLevel, DWORD dwTimeOut, HWND hWnd, 
            REQUESTID ReqID, HPROVIDER hProvider, DWORD dwSPIVersionsRequired, LPWFSVERSION lpSPIVersion, DWORD dwSrvcVersionsRequired, LPWFSVERSION lpSrvcVersion)

With above call flow I get (-15 WFS_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR ) as an error for my application from manger even though i force SUCCESS as return from SP to manager 

I am confused why MANAGER returns different error codes to application if WINAPI definition is removed from WFPOPEN.

Request some pointers on understanding this issue.

Those export comparisons look like you are using wrong calling convention.
Change all your SPI exports from WINAPI to __cdecl (just remove the WINAPI as __cdecl is the default) and it should make the difference.

And why the difference in return codes in your examples:
First example doesn't even get to the WFPOpen call, because the manager doesn't find the correct WFPOpen symbol after DLL load -> Invalid ServiceProvider.

Second case seams to go in to the WFPOpen, but the first test fails -> INTERNAL_ERROR:
if(!g_hMutex ||!g_hLib ||!g_hMsgQueueEvent) return WFS_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR;

So after calling convention fix you need to check your initailization code in more detail to see why it fails.

One thing I found out by looking those tested globals is that you should NEVER ever call LoadLibrary from code that is executed in DLLMain.

You could just create the mutex and save the DLL module handle in DLLMain and do rest of the initialization like library loading at the begining of the WFPOpen.

One can't simply return WFS_SUCCESS from WFPOpen. The following is a very coarse description of the minimal implementation:
1. Fill the version structure (One of the parameters is a pointer for this)
2. Return WFS_SUCCESS or an error code.
3. If WFPOpen returns WFS_SUCCESS then an asynchronous response is expected by the caller. So you have to send that WFS_OPEN_COMPLETE message with all the required information to the given (hwnd parameter) message window handle.

See more detailed information from the following document (SPI API is chapter 6).
