IPinConnection::IsEndPin 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 IsEndPin method indicates whether a reconnection search should end at this pin.

Syntax

HRESULT IsEndPin();

Return value

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include the following.

Return code Description
S_FALSE
 This pin is not a candidate for reconnection. (The reconnection search should not stop at this pin.)
S_OK
 This pin is a candidate for reconnection. (The reconnection search should stop at this pin.)

Remarks

A filter or application can call this method to determine whether the pin is a candidate for dynamic reconnection.

Generally, a sink filter or a filter that splits or merges data should return S_OK. Other filters (for example, simple transform filters) should return S_FALSE.
