Send Feedback

This function returns a direct format name for the queue based on its handle.

HRESULT APIENTRY MQHandleToFormatName(QUEUEHANDLE hQueue,LPWSTR lpwcsFormatName,LPDWORD lpdwCount);

Parameters

  • hQueue
    [in] Handle to the queue.

  • lpwcsFormatName
    [out] Buffer to receive the format name for the queue.

  • lpdwCount
    [in, out] On input, specifies the length of the lpwcsFormatName buffer (in Unicode characters).

    Private queues require at least 54 characters.

    A NULL pointer is not allowed.

    On output, indicates the length of the returned format name string, including the null-terminating character.

    If the output value is greater than the initial input value, the supplied buffer is not large enough to contain the complete format name string and MQ_ERROR_FORMATNAME_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL is returned. In this case, only a portion of the format name is returned.

Return Values

  • MQ_OK
    Indicates success.
  • MQ_ERROR_FORMATNAME_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL
    The lpwcsFormatName buffer is too small to contain the format name string.
  • MQ_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE
    The queue handle specified in hQueue is not valid.
  • MQ_ERROR_SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE
    Cannot connect to the Queue Manager.
  • MQ_ERROR_STALE_HANDLE
    The specified queue handle was obtained in a previous session of the Queue Manager service. To obtain a fresh handle, close the queue and open it again.

Remarks

Format names are not stored by MSMQ; the format name is created when MQHandleToFormatName is called.

Typically, this function is used when you need a format name to specify a queue when calling MQGetQueueProperties or MQSetQueueProperties.

The other format name translation function supported is MQPathNameToFormatName.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 2.0 and later. Versions prior to 2.12 require the MSMQ add-on pack.
Header: Mq.h.
Link Library: Msmqrt.lib.
