Syntax
HRESULT GetAuthor(
[in] UINT cchAuthor,
[in, out] WCHAR *wzAuthor,
[out] UINT *pcchActual
);
Parameters
[in] cchAuthor
Type: UINT
The size of the wzAuthor buffer.
[in, out] wzAuthor
Type: WCHAR*
A pointer that receives the name of the component's author. The locale of the string depends on the value that the codec wrote to the registry at install time. For built-in components, these strings are always in English.
[out] pcchActual
Type: UINT*
A pointer that receives the actual length of the component's authors name. The author name is optional; if an author name is not specified by the component, the length returned is 0.
Return value
Type: HRESULT
If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.
Remarks
If cchAuthor is 0 and wzAuthor is NULL, the required buffer size is returned in pccchActual.
