Defines the base class for global-level HTTP modules.
class CGlobalModule The following table lists the methods exposed by the CGlobalModule class.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| OnGlobalApplicationPreload | aaaabbbb-0000-cccc-1111-dddd2222eeee |
| OnGlobalApplicationResolveModules | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalApplicationResolveModules event, which occurs when IIS resolves the registered modules. |
| OnGlobalApplicationStart | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalApplicationStart event, which occurs when IIS starts an application. |
| OnGlobalApplicationStop | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalApplicationStop event, which occurs when IIS shuts down an application. |
| OnGlobalCacheCleanup | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalCacheCleanup event. |
| OnGlobalCacheOperation | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalCacheOperation event, which occurs when IIS performs a cache-related operation. |
| OnGlobalConfigurationChange | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalConfigurationChange event, which occurs when a change is made to a configuration file. |
| OnGlobalCustomNotification | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalCustomNotification event, which occurs when a module raises a user-defined notification. |
| OnGlobalFileChange | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalFileChange event, which occurs when a file within a Web site is changed. |
| OnGlobalHealthCheck | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalHealthCheck event, which occurs when a health-related operation is executed. |
| OnGlobalPreBeginRequest | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalPreBeginRequest event, which occurs before a request enters the pipeline. |
| OnGlobalRSCAQuery | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalRSCAQuery event, which occurs when a Run-Time Status and Control query is executed. |
| OnGlobalStopListening | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalStopListening event, which occurs when IIS stops accepting new requests. |
| OnGlobalThreadCleanup | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalThreadCleanup event, which occurs when IIS returns a thread to the thread pool. |
| OnGlobalTraceEvent | Represents the method that will handle a GlobalTraceEvent event, which occurs when a trace event is raised. |
| Terminate | Represents the method that IIS calls when a global module has completed processing. |
This class contains no derived classes.
The CGlobalModule class is the base class for global-level HTTP modules. Global-level HTTP modules must contain a class that inherits from CGlobalModule. CGlobalModule defines the methods that [!INCLUDEiisver] calls to handle global-level notifications when global-level events occur. An HTTP module can register for specific events by defining a list of notifications in a module's exported RegisterModule function. When a global-level module has finished processing, the module should use the CGlobalModule::Terminate method to remove CGlobalModule instances from memory.
The following code example demonstrates how to create a simple "Hello World" global-level HTTP module. The module defines an exported RegisterModule function that creates an instance of a class that is derived from CGlobalModule. If the class cannot be created, the function exits with an error code; otherwise, the function calls the IHttpModuleRegistrationInfo::SetRequestNotifications method to register for the GL_PRE_BEGIN_REQUEST notification.
When a GL_PRE_BEGIN_REQUEST notification occurs, IIS calls the module's CGlobalModule::OnGlobalPreBeginRequest method to process the notification. The method calls a private method to write an event to the application log of the Event Viewer, and then it returns GL_NOTIFICATION_CONTINUE to notify IIS to continue processing other notifications. When processing is complete, IIS calls the module's CGlobalModule::Terminate method to remove the class from memory.

Your module must export the RegisterModule function. You can export this function by creating a module definition (.def) file for your project, or you can compile the module by using the /EXPORT:RegisterModule switch. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Global-Level HTTP Module By Using Native Code.
You can optionally compile the code by using the __stdcall (/Gz) calling convention instead of explicitly declaring the calling convention for each function.
