IEnumFilters::Skip 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 Skip method skips over a specified number of filters.
Syntax
HRESULT Skip(
[in] ULONG cFilters
);
Parameters
[in] cFilters
Number of filters to skip.
Return value
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| S_FALSE | Skipped past the end of the sequence. |
| S_OK | Success. |
| VFW_E_ENUM_OUT_OF_SYNC | The graph has changed and is now inconsistent with the enumerator. |
Remarks
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 Skip method safely.
