IFilterMapper3::GetICreateDevEnum method (strmif.h)

  • Article

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 GetICreateDevEnum method returns a pointer to the ICreateDevEnum interface. You can use the ICreateDevEnum interface to create an enumerator for a category of filters, such as video capture devices or audio capture devices.

Note  This method is deprecated. Instead, applications should call CoCreateInstance with CLSID_SystemDeviceEnum to create the System Device Enumerator.
