IWMProfile::GetDescription method

The GetDescription method retrieves the profile description. The description is a string that contains an explanation of what the profile should be used for.

Syntax

HRESULT GetDescription(
  WCHAR *pwszDescription,
  DWORD *pcchDescription
);

Parameters

pwszDescription

Pointer to a wide-character null-terminated string containing the description. Pass NULL to retrieve the required length for the description.

pcchDescription

On input, specifies the length of the pwszDescription string. On output, if the method succeeds, specifies a pointer to a count of the number of characters in the name, including the terminating null character.

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code Description
S_OK
The method succeeded.
E_INVALIDARG
The pcchName parameter is NULL.
ASF_E_BUFFERTOOSMALL
The buffer pointed to by the pwszDescription parameter is not large enough.
E_UNEXPECTED
The method failed for an unspecified reason.

Remarks

You should make two calls to GetDescription. On the first call, pass NULL as pwszDescription. On return, the value pointed to by pcchDescription is set to the number of wide characters, including the terminating null character, required to hold the profile description. Then you can allocate the required amount of memory for the string and pass a pointer to it as pwszDescription on the second call.
