The GetManufacturer method retrieves the name of the manufacturer of the device. This method must be implemented. It must not return WMDM_E_NOTSUPPORTED or E_NOTIMPL. For more information, see the second table under Implementing Service Providers.

Syntax

HRESULT GetManufacturer(
  LPWSTR  pwszName,
  UINT  nMaxChars
);

Parameters

pwszName

[out]  Pointer to an array of 16-bit Unicode characters that receives the manufacturer name string.

nMaxChars

[in]  Maximum number of characters to copy to the string.

Return Values

The method returns an HRESULT. All the interface methods in Windows Media Device Manager and service provider can return any of the following classes of error codes:

  • Standard COM error codes
  • Windows error codes converted to HRESULT values
  • Windows Media Device Manager error codes

For a complete list of possible error codes, see Error Codes.

Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code Description
S_OK The method succeeded.
E_INVALIDARG A parameter is invalid or is a NULL pointer.
WMDM_E_BUFFERTOOSMALL The buffer specified is too small for the return string. Check nMaxChars for the required buffer size.
E_FAIL An unspecified error occurred.

Remarks

The LPWSTR string type is a 16-bit Unicode character string and does not accept byte-sized characters. To convert a string of byte-sized characters (LPCSTR) to an LPWSTR string, use the MultiByteToWideChar function, as described in the Microsoft® Windows® Platform Software Development Kit documentation.
