GetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID function (shobjidl_core.h)

Retrieves the application-defined, explicit Application User Model ID (AppUserModelID) for the current process.

Syntax

SHSTDAPI GetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID(
  [out] PWSTR *AppID
);

Parameters

[out] AppID

Type: PWSTR*

A pointer that receives the address of the AppUserModelID assigned to the process. The caller is responsible for freeing this string with CoTaskMemFree when it is no longer needed.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this function succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

The AppUserModelID retrieved by this function was set earlier through SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID.

An application can only retrieve an AppUserModelID that has been explicitly set. System-assigned default AppUserModelIDs cannot be retrieved. If the application requires knowledge of its AppUserModelID it should set one explicitly.
