DPMSG_SETPLAYERORGROUPNAME
Contains information for the DPSYS_SETPLAYERORGROUPNAME system message. DirectPlay generates this message and sends it to each local player on the computer when the name of a player or group changes. This message will not be generated if the DPSESSION_ NODATAMESSAGES flag is specified in the session description.
