◆ createDeviceFilter()

void IUSBDeviceFilters::createDeviceFilter ( in wstring  name,
[retval] out IUSBDeviceFilter  filter 
)

Creates a new USB device filter.

All attributes except the filter name are set to empty (any match), active is false (the filter is not active).

The created filter can then be added to the list of filters using insertDeviceFilter.

Parameters
nameFilter name. See IUSBDeviceFilter::name for more info.
filterCreated filter object.
Expected result codes:
VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATEThe virtual machine is not mutable.

◆ insertDeviceFilter()

void IUSBDeviceFilters::insertDeviceFilter ( in unsigned long  position,
in IUSBDeviceFilter  filter 
)

Inserts the given USB device to the specified position in the list of filters.

Positions are numbered starting from 0. If the specified position is equal to or greater than the number of elements in the list, the filter is added to the end of the collection.

Parameters
positionPosition to insert the filter to.
filterUSB device filter to insert.
Expected result codes:
VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATEVirtual machine is not mutable.
E_INVALIDARGUSB device filter not created within this VirtualBox instance.
VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATEUSB device filter already in list.
Note
Duplicates are not allowed, so an attempt to insert a filter that is already in the collection, will return an error.

◆ removeDeviceFilter()

void IUSBDeviceFilters::removeDeviceFilter ( in unsigned long  position,
[retval] out IUSBDeviceFilter  filter 
)

Removes a USB device filter from the specified position in the list of filters.

Positions are numbered starting from 0. Specifying a position equal to or greater than the number of elements in the list will produce an error.

Parameters
positionPosition to remove the filter from.
filterRemoved USB device filter.
Expected result codes:
VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATEVirtual machine is not mutable.
E_INVALIDARGUSB device filter list empty or invalid position.

Member Data Documentation

◆ deviceFilters

readonly attribute IUSBDeviceFilter [] IUSBDeviceFilters::deviceFilters

List of USB device filters associated with the machine.

If the machine is currently running, these filters are activated every time a new (supported) USB device is attached to the host computer that was not ignored by global filters (IHost::USBDeviceFilters).

These filters are also activated when the machine is powered up. They are run against a list of all currently available USB devices (in states USBDeviceState_Available, USBDeviceState_Busy, USBDeviceState_Held) that were not previously ignored by global filters.

If at least one filter matches the USB device in question, this device is automatically captured (attached to) the virtual USB controller of this machine.
