Set the name; silently truncates the name if it's too long.

Parameters:

name - the new name

setStorageClsid

public void setStorageClsid(ClassID clsidStorage)

Sets the storage class ID for this property stream. This is the Class ID of the COM object which can read and write this property stream

Parameters:
