IVMRFilterConfig::SetImageCompositor method (strmif.h)

The SetImageCompositor method installs an application-provided image compositor.

Syntax

HRESULT SetImageCompositor(
  [in] IVMRImageCompositor *lpVMRImgCompositor
);

Parameters

[in] lpVMRImgCompositor

Pointer to the image compositor's IVMRImageCompositor interface.

Return value

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Return code Description
VFW_E_WRONG_STATE
The mixer is not currently loaded.

Remarks

Use this method to replace the VMR's default compositor with a custom compositor provided by the application. The image compositor is a sub-component of the mixer.

The compositor is automatically loaded when the VMR is in windowless or windowed mode. When the VMR is in renderless mode, the compositor must be loaded by calling IVMRFilterConfig::SetNumberOfStreams. The VMR manages all reference counting on the IVMRImageCompositor interface.
