IAMDroppedFrames::GetNumDropped (Windows CE 5.0)
This method retrieves the total number of frames that the filter has dropped since it started streaming.
HRESULT GetNumDropped( long* plDropped);
Parameters
- plDropped
[out] Pointer to a variable that receives the number of dropped frames.
Return Values
Returns an HRESULT value. The following table shows some possible return values.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| S_OK | Success. |
| E_POINTER | NULL pointer argument. |
Remarks
The filter resets the count to zero when it transitions from stopped to paused.
If your application uses the IAMStreamControl interface to control a pin, the driver might continue to count dropped and non-dropped frames while the pin is off. To get an accurate count, call this method once when you turn on the pin, and again when you turn off the pin. The difference is the total number of dropped frames. (If the start time occurs later than the call to IAMStreamControl::StartAt, the application should listen for the EC_STREAM_CONTROL_STARTED event.) These remarks also apply if your application uses the ICaptureGraphBuilder2::ControlStream method.
Requirements
DirectShow applications and DirectShow filters have different include file and link library requirements. See Setting Up the Build Environment for more information.
OS Versions: Windows CE 5.0 and later.
