IPortableDeviceManager::GetDeviceManufacturer method (portabledeviceapi.h)

Retrieves the name of the device manufacturer.

Syntax

HRESULT GetDeviceManufacturer(
  [in]      LPCWSTR pszPnPDeviceID,
  [in, out] WCHAR   *pDeviceManufacturer,
  [in, out] DWORD   *pcchDeviceManufacturer
);

Parameters

[in] pszPnPDeviceID

Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the device's Plug and Play ID. You can retrieve a list of Plug and Play names of all devices that are connected to the computer by calling GetDevices.

[in, out] pDeviceManufacturer

A caller-allocated buffer that holds the name of the device manufacturer. To learn the required size for this parameter, first call this method with this parameter set to NULL and pcchDeviceManufacturer set to 0; the method will succeed and set pcchDeviceManufacturer to the required buffer size to hold the device-friendly name, including the termination character.

[in, out] pcchDeviceManufacturer

On input, the maximum number of characters that pDeviceManufacturer can hold, not including the termination character. On output, the number of characters returned by pDeviceManufacturer, not including the termination character.

Return code	Description
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER)	The supplied buffer is not large enough to hold the device description. (Refer to the value returned in pcchDeviceDescription for the required size.)
