IDirectPlay4::GetGroupName

IDirectPlay4 Interface

Returns the name associated with a group.

Syntax

HRESULT GetGroupName(
  DPID idGroup,
  LPVOID lpData,
  LPDWORD lpdwDataSize
  );

Parameters

idGroup
ID of the group whose name is being requested.
lpData
Pointer to a buffer where the name data is to be written. Set this parameter to NULL to request only the size of data. lpdwDataSize will be set to the size required to hold the data.
lpdwDataSize
Pointer to a variable that is initialized to the size of the buffer before calling the method. After the method returns, this parameter will be set to the size, in bytes, of the name data. If the buffer was too small (DPERR_BUFFERTOOSMALL), then this parameter will be set to the buffer size that is required.

Return Value

Returns DP_OK if successful, or one of the following error values otherwise:
DPERR_BUFFERTOOSMALL
DPERR_INVALIDGROUP
DPERR_INVALIDOBJECT
DPERR_INVALIDPARAMS
DPERR_INVALIDPLAYER

Remarks

After the method returns, the pointer lpData should be cast to the DPNAME structure to read the group name data.
