IVideoWindow::put_WindowStyle method (control.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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 put_WindowStyle method sets the window styles on the video window.
Syntax
HRESULT put_WindowStyle(
[in] long WindowStyle
);
Parameters
[in] WindowStyle
One or more flags from the GWL_STYLE value of the Windows SetWindowLong function.
Return value
Possible return values include the following:
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
Success. |
|
The video renderer filter is not connected. |
Remarks
This method is a thin wrapper over the SetWindowLong function and must be treated with care. In particular, you should retrieve the current styles and then add or remove flags. With some exceptions, flags allowed by the Windows CreateWindow function are acceptable. However, do not use this method to change the window size, and do not use the following flags:
- WS_DISABLED
- WS_HSCROLL
- WS_ICONIC
- WS_MAXIMIZE
- WS_MINIMIZE
- WS_VSCROLL
