HRESULT SetMetadata(
  [in]           const WSD_THIS_MODEL_METADATA   *pThisModelMetadata,
  [in]           const WSD_THIS_DEVICE_METADATA  *pThisDeviceMetadata,
  [in, optional] const WSD_HOST_METADATA         *pHostMetadata,
  [in, optional] const WSD_METADATA_SECTION_LIST *pCustomMetadata
);

[in] pThisModelMetadata
