IFaxPort::get_Name

The IFaxPort::get_Name method retrieves the Name property for a FaxPort object. The Name property is a null-terminated string that contains the user-friendly display name for a fax port.

Visual Basic Reference

HRESULT get_Name(
  BSTR *pVal  // receives user-friendly display name for port
);

Parameters

pVal

[out] Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the user-friendly name to associate with the fax port.

Return Values

Returns an HRESULT value indicating success or failure. If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns a COM-defined error code.

You should not check directly for success or failure. Use the COM SUCCEEDED and FAILED macros instead.

Remarks

Note that it is possible for multiple fax ports to have the same user-friendly name. Use the DeviceId property to uniquely identify a fax port.

The IFaxPort::get_Name method allocates the memory required for the buffer pointed to by the pVal parameter. The client application must call the SysFreeString function to deallocate the resources associated with this parameter. For more information, see Freeing Fax Resources.

  Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows 2000.
  Windows 95/98: Unsupported.
