  [out, retval] LPWSTR *intent
);

Parameters

  • intent [out, retval]
    The signature intention agreement against which the signer is signing.

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the table that follows. For return values that are not listed in this table, see XPS Digital Signature API Errors and XPS Document Errors.

Return code Description
S_OK

The method succeeded.

E_POINTER

intent is NULL.

E_UNEXPECTED

The interface is not connected to the signature manager.

 

Remarks

The signature intent string describes what the signature means to the signer. For example, for the signature intent string "I have read and agree with the contents of this document" the presence of a digital signature means that the signer has read and agrees with the content of the document.

This method allocates the memory used by the string that is returned in intent. If intent is not NULL, use the CoTaskMemFree function to free the memory.
