IWSCProductList::Initialize method (iwscapi.h)
Gathers information on all of the providers of the specified type on the computer.
Syntax
HRESULT Initialize(
[in] ULONG provider
);
Parameters
[in] provider
A value from the WSC_SECURITY_PROVIDER enumeration with the name of the provider as one of the following values. Note that the possible values can't be combined in a logical OR as they can when used with the WscGetSecurityProviderHealth function.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
Antivirus products. |
|
Anti-spyware products. |
|
Firewall products. |
Return value
If the method succeeds, returns S_OK.
If the method fails, returns a Win32 error code.
Remarks
Once the client gets an IWSCProductList pointer, they must call Initialize with a provider type, which gathers information on all the providers of that type installed on the system. Only one type of provider can be specified when calling Initialize, and the Initialize method may only be called once for each instance of an IWSCProductList pointer. After the list has been initialized, the user is free to call Count to obtain the number of providers in the list and Item to retrieve an individual provider.
