CBaseControlWindow.put_WindowStyle 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 put_WindowStyle method sets the standard window styles.

Syntax

HRESULT put_WindowStyle(
   long WindowStyle
);

Parameters

WindowStyle

New window styles.

Return value

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

Take care when changing the window styles. In most cases, an application should retrieve the current style and then add or remove the inappropriate bits. This procedure allows various internal window styles used by Windows to remain intact.
