This read-only property identifies the public queue associated with the MSMQQueueInfoobject. The queue identifier is created by Message Queuing when the queue is created.

  BSTR* 
pbstrGuidQueue 
);

Remarks

Message Queuing sets MSMQQueueInfo.QueueGuidwhen the queue is created.

This property identifies the queue defined by the MSMQQueueInfoobject. It does not identify an open instance of the queue.

Locating Queues Based on Identifiers

The MSMQQueueInfo.QueueGuidproperty can be used as search criteria when making a query of existing public queues.

Retrieving the Create Time

To retrieve the stored create time of a queue, call the MSMQQueueInfo.Refreshmethod and inspect the MSMQQueueInfo.QueueGuidproperty.

Message Queuing stores the identifier in the directory service (for public queues) and on the local computer (for private queues). The local value of MSMQQueueInfoobject is not updated until the MSMQQueueInfo.Refreshmethod is called.

Equivalent Function Property

When using function calls, you can retrieve the QUID identifier of an existing queue by retrieving PROPID_Q_INSTANCE.
