Gets the name of a thread.

Syntax

HRESULT GetName ( 
   BSTR* pbstrName
);

int GetName ( 
   out string pbstrName
);

Parameters

pbstrName
[out] Returns the name of the thread.

Return Value

If successful, returns S_OK; otherwise, returns an error code.

Remarks

The retrieved name is always a name that can be displayed and this name describes the thread. The thread name might be derived from a run-time architecture that supports named threads, or it might be a name derived from the debug engine. Alternatively, the name of the thread can be set by a call to the SetThreadName method.
