This property can be retrieved only for an active queue. MQMgmtGetInfo will return a non-specific error (MQ_ERROR) if your application attempts to retrieve the number of messages in the journal of a queue that does not contain messages and is not opened by an application.

When using COM components, you can retrieve the number of messages in a queue journal using the MSMQQueueManagement.JournalMessageCount property.

Example Code

The following code fragment shows how PROPID_MGMT_QUEUE_JOURNAL_MESSAGE_COUNT T is specified in arrays that can be used to initialize an MQMGMTPROPS structure.

aMgmtPropID[i] = PROPID_MGMT_QUEUE_JOURNAL_MESSAGE_COUNT;    // Property identifier  
aMgmtPropVar[i].vt = VT_NULL;                                // Type indicator  
i++;
