[vbox-dev] again with Machine States using API

[Wiem]

Hello

 

I'm newby to VirtualBox API (I've been using VMWare for months and now I'm
joining VirtualBox community)

 

I want to code a sample program that manage installer virtual machines
(start, stop, save, retore etc)

 

I started using the sample code given with SDK

 

My sample program worked and I needed to check the virtual machine state in
order to figure out which operations are granted (PoweredOff : start and
restore, Running : stop, save etc) and it doesn't work for me, I tried
checking machine state using Imachine, Isession, Iconsole and I'm always
recovering rc failure "Error retrieving State" (check my code below)

 

I would like to know :

1.   Which classes should be implemented to be able to check machine state ?

2.   Which class / interface should I be using to check machine state ?

 

Thank you very much

Wiem

GetStateName() : converts enum result to string

        }
