Article
02/22/2024

Retrieves the DeviceName property for the FaxStatus object of a parent FaxPort object. The DeviceName property is a null-terminated string that contains the user-friendly display name for the fax port.

This property is read-only.

Syntax

HRESULT get_DeviceName(
  BSTR *pVal
);

Parameters

pVal

Return value

None

Remarks

Note that it is possible for multiple fax ports to have the same user-friendly name. You can use the DeviceId property of a FaxStatus object to uniquely identify a fax port, and associate a FaxStatus object with a FaxPort object.

The IFaxStatus::get_DeviceName 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.
