IDataCollector::get_FileNameFormatPattern method (pla.h)
Retrieves or sets the format pattern to use when decorating the file name.
This property is read/write.
Syntax
HRESULT get_FileNameFormatPattern(
BSTR *pattern
);
Parameters
pattern
Return value
None
Remarks
PLA uses the pattern only if the IDataCollector::FileNameFormat property is set to plaPattern.
PLA appends the decoration to the file name. Use the following pattern characters to define your own pattern. For example, the pattern "MMMM d, yyyy \a\t h:mmTt" could yield "January 31, 2005 at 4:20AM". If the file name is MyFile, the decorated file name would be "MyFile January 31, 2005 at 4:20AM".
