CTransformOutputPin.GetMediaType 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 GetMediaType method retrieves a preferred media type, by index value.

Syntax

HRESULT GetMediaType(
   int        iPosition,
   CMediaType *pMediaType
);

Parameters

iPosition

Zero-based index value.

pMediaType

Pointer to a CMediaType object that receives the media type.

Return value

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include those shown in the following table.

Return code	Description
S_OK	Success
VFW_S_NO_MORE_ITEMS	Index out of range

Remarks

This method overrides the CBasePin::GetMediaType method. If the filter's input pin is not connected, the method returns VFW_S_NO_MORE_ITEMS. Otherwise, it calls the filter's CTransformFilter::GetMediaType method to retrieve the media type. The CTransformFilter::GetMediaType method is pure virtual; the filter's derived class must override it.
