CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This enumeration provides values that are used to describe a pin's connection. It contains the properties of the CSPROPSETID_Connection property set (see IOCTL_CS_PROPERTY).

Syntax

typedef enum {
  CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_STATE,
  CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_DATAFORMAT,
  CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_ALLOCATORFRAMING,
  CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_PROPOSEDATAFORMAT,
  CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_ALLOCATORFRAMING_EX
} CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION;

Elements

• CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_STATE
  Sets the current run state of the pin. This property returns a value from the CSSTATE enumeration.

  The pin only reads or writes data in the CSSTATE_RUN state. Both individual pins and the CS filter as a whole may support this property.

• CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_DATAFORMAT
  Used to get or set the current data format.

  This property returns a CSDATAFORMAT specifying the current data format.

  CS filters only need to support this property if they allow clients to reset the current property, or if connections can be made with the data format incompletely specified.

• CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_ALLOCATORFRAMING
  Used to determine framing requirements for a pin.

  This property returns a CSALLOCATOR_FRAMING structure, which describes the framing requirements for the pin. For example, the FrameSize member specifies the frame size of data on the pin.

  AVStream minidrivers should use CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_ALLOCATORFRAMING_EX.

• CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_PROPOSEDATAFORMAT
  Used to propose a new data format for the connection.

  This property returns a CSDATAFORMAT specifying the proposed data format.

  The CS filter returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the pin can be reset to the proposed data format, or an error code otherwise. Note that this property request does not change the data format. Clients use CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_DATAFORMAT to change the format.

• CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_ALLOCATORFRAMING_EX
  Used to determine framing requirements for a pin.

  This property returns a CSALLOCATOR_FRAMING_EX structure that describes the framing requirements for an AVStream pin.

  Minidrivers running under stream class should use CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_ALLOCATORFRAMING.

Remarks

The following table summarizes the usages of the CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION connection types.

Connection Type	Get	Set	Target	Property Descriptor Type	Property Value Type
CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_STATE	No	Yes	Filter or Pin	CSPROPERTY	CSSTATE
CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_DATAFORMAT	Yes	Yes	Pin	CSPROPERTY	CSDATAFORMAT
CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_ALLOCATORFRAMING	Yes	No	Pin	CSPROPERTY	CSALLOCATOR_FRAMING
CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_PROPOSEDATAFORMAT	No	Yes	Pin	CSPROPERTY	CSDATAFORMAT
CSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_ALLOCATORFRAMING_EX	Yes	No	Pin	CSPROPERTY	CSALLOCATOR_FRAMING_EX

In Windows Embedded CE 6.0 and later, setting the CS_PROPERT_CONNECTION_STATE to CSSTATE_RUN on a still image pin will succeed, even if the state is not actually changed.
