CBaseWindow.OnClose method

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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.]

The OnClose method handles WM_CLOSE messages.

Syntax

virtual BOOL OnClose();

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

Returns TRUE.

Remarks

In the base class, this method simply hides the window. Typically, a derived class will override this method so that it sends an EC_USERABORT event as well. Do not override the method to destroy the window. Instead, call the CBaseWindow::DoneWithWindow method when the owning filter is destroyed.
