IltmmDevice::get_Name

#include "ltmm.h"

C Syntax	HRESULT IltmmDevice_get_Name(pDevice, pVal)
C++ Syntax	HRESULT get_Name(pVal)

IltmmDevice *pDevice;	/* pointer to an interface */
BSTR * pVal;	/* pointer to a string */

Retrieves the device’s unique name.

Parameter	Description
pDevice	Pointer to an IltmmDevice interface.
pVal	Pointer to a character string containing the device’s name.

Returns

S_OK	The function was successful.
<> S_OK	An error occurred. Refer to the Error Codes or the HRESULT error codes in the DirectShow documentation.

Comments

The returned string can be used to uniquely identify a device. A program can save this value to persistent storage and used later with the ltmmDevices::Find function to restore the device selection.

If the method succeeds, the caller must free the returned BSTR by calling the SysFreeString function.
