CBaseControlVideo.SetControlVideoPin method

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 SetControlVideoPin method sets the pin used by the filter.

Syntax

void SetControlVideoPin(
   CBasePin *pPin
);

Parameters

pPin

Pointer to the pin with which the interface is synchronized.

Return value

No return value.

Remarks

The interface can be called only when the filter has been connected successfully. The object is passed through this method to the pin with which it is synchronized; in most cases it will determine if the pin is connected when it has an interface method called and will return VFW_E_NOT_CONNECTED if it fails.
