IWMReaderNetworkConfig::GetSupportedProtocolName 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 It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer.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 GetSupportedProtocolName method retrieves a protocol name by index.
Syntax
HRESULT GetSupportedProtocolName(
[in] DWORD dwProtocolNum,
[out] WCHAR *pwszProtocolName,
[in, out] DWORD *pcchProtocolName
);
Parameters
[in] dwProtocolNum
Specifies protocol name to retrieve, indexed from zero. To get the number of supported protocols, call the IWMReaderNetworkConfig::GetNumProtocolsSupported method.
[out] pwszProtocolName
Pointer to a wide-character null-terminated string containing the protocol name. Pass NULL to retrieve the length of the name.
[in, out] pcchProtocolName
On input, pointer to a DWORD containing the length of the pwszProtocolName, in characters. On output, pointer to the length of the protocol name, including the terminating null character.
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. |
|
NULL or invalid argument passed in. |
Remarks
You should make two calls to GetSupportedProtocolName. On the first call, pass NULL for pwszProtocoName. On return, the value pointed to by pcchProtocolName is set to the number of wide characters, including the terminating null, required to hold the protocol name. Then you can allocate the required amount of memory for the string and pass a pointer to it as pwszProtocolName on the second call.
Use this method along with GetNumProtocolsSupported to iterate through the network protocols supported by the reader object.
This method only returns a list of protocols that are used to receive content from Windows Media servers. Protocols that are only used for retrieving content from local sources, or non-Windows Media servers (such as Web servers) are not included in this list.
