IEnumFilters::Next method (strmif.h)
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 Next method retrieves the specified number of filters in the enumeration sequence.
Syntax
HRESULT Next(
[in] ULONG cFilters,
[out] IBaseFilter **ppFilter,
[out] ULONG *pcFetched
);
Parameters
[in] cFilters
Number of filters to retrieve.
[out] ppFilter
Array of size cFilters that is filled with IBaseFilter interface pointers. The caller must release the interfaces.
[out] pcFetched
Receives the number of filters retrieved. Can be NULL if cFilters is 1.
Return value
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| S_FALSE | Did not retrieve as many filters as requested. |
| S_OK | Success. |
| E_INVALIDARG | Invalid argument. |
| E_POINTER | NULL pointer argument. |
| VFW_E_ENUM_OUT_OF_SYNC | The graph has changed and is now inconsistent with the enumerator. |
Remarks
If the method succeeds, the IBaseFilter pointers all have outstanding reference counts. Be sure to release them when you are done.
If the filter graph changes (for example, the application removes a filter), the enumerator is no longer be consistent with the graph, and the method returns VFW_E_ENUM_OUT_OF_SYNC. Discard any data obtained from previous calls to the enumerator, because it might be invalid. Update the enumerator by calling the IEnumFilters::Reset method. You can then call the Next method safely.
