TranslatePhysicalName

Translates a physical repeated capability name to a virtual repeated capability name.

virtual CString TranslatePhysicalName(const CString& strPhysicalName) const abstract;

strPhysicalName

[in] Physical name to be translated.

Returns the virtual name if the translation was successful, otherwise strPhysicalName is returned.

This function uses the physical-to-virtual name mappings created by the end user in the IVI Configuration Store. If strPhysical does not have a virtual name mapping, this function simply returns strPhysical.

The following example demonstrates use of the TranslatePhysicalName function.

CoAcme4321.cpp
HRESULT Acme4321::GetChannelName(BSTR* pbstrName)
{
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
CString strPhysicalName = "CH1";
// Always hand out virtual names to the user
CString strVirtualName = TranslatePhysicalName(strPhysicalName);
*pbstrName = strVirtualName.AllocSysString();
return hr;
}
