Winframe API SDK Programmer's Guide
WFAPI SDK Programmer's Guide Introduction The Citrix WFAPI functions enable application programs to perform tasks that are unique to XenApp and XenDesktop. Appropriate hotfixes and service packs may be needed for the functions defined here to execute properly. In this document XenApp and XenDesktop will be referred to as Citrix VDA. XenApp (RDS VDA) runs on server OSs, Microsoft Windows 2008R2 (Win 7 server) and Windows 2012R2 (Win 8.1 server) and XenDesktop (WS VDA) runs on workstation OSs, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10. This SDK allows software developers to programmatically access features specific to Citrix VDAs. For example: • Enumerating servers, sessions, and processes • Managing servers, sessions, and processes • Accessing Citrix-specific user data • Sending messages to a session • Using virtual channels • Waiting on system events The WFAPI SDK comprises a set of function calls to the Wfapi.dll dynamic link library (DLL) for 32- bit applications and Wfapi64.dll for 64-bit applications. These DLLs are available on servers running XenApp and on Windows Workstation platforms running XenDesktop. Example programs are included to assist developers. Using the WFAPI SDK The WFAPI SDK is intended for use by OEMs and customers who need to write applications that directly call WFAPI functions, using Microsoft Visual C++, Version 12.0 (Visual Studio 2013). System Requirements The WFAPI SDK must be installed and built on a Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Servers 2008R2 or 2012R2 computer with sufficient disk space. The SDK does not need more than a few megabytes of disk space; however, third-party development tools (for example, Microsoft Visual C++) may require a substantial amount of disk space.
