Gets the name of a thread.
Syntax

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.
