IWMDMStorage::GetRights

The GetRights method retrieves the rights information for an object.

Syntax

HRESULT GetRights(
  PWMDMRIGHTS*  ppRights,
  UINT*  pnRightsCount,
  BYTE  abMac[WMDM_MAC_LENGTH]
);

Parameters

  ppRights

[out]  Pointer to an array of WMDMRIGHTS structures that contain the storage object rights information. This parameter is included in the output message authentication code.

  pnRightsCount

[out]  Pointer to the number of WMDMRIGHTS structures in the ppRights array. This parameter is included in the output message authentication code.

  abMac

[in, out]  Array of eight bytes containing the message authentication code for the parameter data of this method. (WMDM_MAC_LENGTH is defined as 8.)

Return Values

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Return code Description
E_INVALIDARG The pRights parameter is an invalid or NULL pointer.
WMDM_E_NOTSUPPORTED Rights are not supported for this object.
E_FAIL An unspecified error occurred.

Remarks

Object rights describe the usage permissions for media content. For example, the WMDMRIGHTS structure can contain information concerning how many times a file can be played and who can play it.

The ppRights array is allocated by this method, and must be freed by the application using CoTaskMemFree, a standard Win32 function.
