Property Page Helper Functions
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 Videoctl.h header file in the Microsoft® DirectShow® base classes provides functions to help with property page implementations.
| Function | Description |

| StringFromResource | Loads a string from a resource file with the given resource identifier. |
