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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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

Note

[Deprecated. This API may be removed from future releases of Windows.]

 

The get_Filter method retrieves a pointer to the source filter currently used by the media detector.

Syntax

HRESULT get_Filter(
  [out, retval] IUnknown **ppVal
);

Parameters

ppVal [out, retval]

Receives a pointer to the filter's IUnknown interface. If no source filter is in use, the value is set to NULL.

Return value

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

When the method returns, if *ppVal is not NULL, the IUnknown interface has an outstanding reference count. Release the interface when you are finished using it.

Note

The header file Qedit.h is not compatible with Direct3D headers later than version 7.

 

Note

To obtain Qedit.h, download the Microsoft Windows SDK Update for Windows Vista and .NET Framework 3.0. Qedit.h is not available in the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.
