IFaxTiff::get_SenderName

The IFaxTiff::get_SenderName method retrieves the SenderName property for a FaxTiff object. The SenderName property is a null-terminated string that contains the name of the user who queued the fax transmission.

A fax client application must call the IFaxTiff::put_Image method to set the Image property before retrieving another property for a FaxTiff object.

Visual Basic Reference

HRESULT get_SenderName(
  BSTR *pVal  // receives sender name string
);

Parameters

pVal

[out] Pointer to a string that contains the name of the sender who initiated the fax transmission.

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

The SenderName property has meaning only for outbound fax transmissions.

The IFaxTiff::get_SenderName method sets the pVal parameter to the name of the sender of the specified fax file, if it is available. If the information is not available, the method returns an empty string.

The IFaxTiff::get_SenderName 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.
