IWMStreamConfig::SetConnectionName method (wmsdkidl.h)
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The SetConnectionName method specifies a name for an input. If the profile you are creating contains multiple bit rate mutual exclusion, each of the mutually exclusive streams must have the same connection name.
Syntax
HRESULT SetConnectionName(
[in] LPCWSTR_WMSDK_TYPE_SAFE pwszInputName
);
Parameters
[in] pwszInputName
Pointer to a wide-character null-terminated string containing the input name. Connection names are limited to 256 wide characters.
Return value
The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The method succeeded. |
|
The pwszInputName parameter is NULL. |
Remarks
This method is purely for the convenience of the developer during profile manipulation and file writing. The name assigned using this method is not stored in the header section of ASF files created using the profile and is therefore not available through the reader object or synchronous reader object.
The new value will not take effect in the profile until you call IWMProfile::ReconfigStream.
