ICameraControl interface (vidcap.h)
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 ICameraControl interface controls the camera settings on a capture device.
This interface may be exposed by one or more nodes in a capture filter. It is not exposed at the level of the filter itself. To enumerate the nodes, query the filter for the IKsTopologyInfo interface. For each node, call IKsTopologyInfo::get_NodeType to get the node type. The ICameraControl interface is exposed by nodes of type KSNODETYPE_VIDEO_CAMERA_TERMINAL. Get the interface pointer by calling IKsTopologyInfo::CreateNodeInstance with the value IID_ICameraControl.
This interface corresponds to the PROPSETID_VIDCAP_CAMERACONTROL property set, which is documented in the Windows DDK.
Inheritance
The ICameraControl interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. ICameraControl also has these types of members:
Methods
The ICameraControl interface has these methods.
