CBaseControlWindow.GetBorderColour 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 GetBorderColour method retrieves the current window border color, m_BorderColour.
Syntax
COLORREF GetBorderColour();
Parameters
This method has no parameters.
Return value
Returns the color of the border.
Remarks
An application can set a destination rectangle to display the video. This rectangle should be relative to the client area for the window. If this is done (the default is to always paint the entire window), there is an area that surrounds the video; that is, the border. The border color can be set through the CBaseControlWindow::put_BorderColor member function. This property affects the color of the border. Use this member function instead of CBaseControlWindow::get_BorderColor, unless you are calling this externally through the IVideoWindow::get_BorderColor method.
