Event Manager Routines

Converting Process Serial Numbers and Port Names

The Event Manager provides two functions to convert between process serial
numbers and port names (GetProcessSerialNumberFromPortName and GetPortNameFromProcessSerialNumber). Both functions are intended to map serial numbers to port names (or vice versa) for applications open on the local computer. They do not return useful results for applications open on remote computers.
