# IFaxRoutingMethod::get_FriendlyName


## -description


The <b>IFaxRoutingMethod::get_FriendlyName</b> property is a null-terminated string that contains the user-friendly name for a fax routing method. 

This property is read-only.


## -parameters


## -remarks



A fax client application can use the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/previous-versions/windows/desktop/fax/-mfax-ifaxroutingmethod-get-guid-vb">IFaxRoutingMethod::get_Guid</a> property to uniquely identify a fax routing method. Note that it is possible for multiple routing methods to have the same user-friendly name, and even the same function name. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/previous-versions/windows/desktop/fax/-mfax-fax-routing-methods">Fax Routing Methods</a>.

<b>IFaxRoutingMethod::get_FriendlyName</b> allocates the memory required for the buffer pointed to by the <i>pVal</i> parameter. The client application must call the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/previous-versions/windows/desktop/api/oleauto/nf-oleauto-sysfreestring">SysFreeString</a> function to deallocate the resources associated with this parameter. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/previous-versions/windows/desktop/fax/-mfax-freeing-fax-resources">Freeing Fax Resources</a>.
