IDirectDrawMediaStream::GetDirectDraw method (ddstream.h)

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

Note This interface is deprecated. New applications should not use it.

Retrieves a pointer to the DirectDraw object used by the current media stream.

Syntax

HRESULT GetDirectDraw(
  [out] IDirectDraw **ppDirectDraw
);

Parameters

[out] ppDirectDraw

Address of a pointer to an IDirectDraw interface that will contain the current media stream's associated DirectDraw object.

Return value

Returns S_OK if successful or E_POINTER if the parameter is invalid.

Remarks

If you haven't initialized the stream yet, the retrieved pointer will be NULL and the method will return S_OK. If you have initialized the stream, this method increments the retrieved pointer's reference count.
