Controlling Filter Graphs Using C
If you are writing your Microsoft® DirectShow® application in C (rather than C++), you must use a vtable pointer to call methods. The following example illustrates how to call the IUnknown::QueryInterface method from an application written in C:
pGraph->lpVtbl->QueryInterface(pGraph, &IID_IMediaEvent, (void **)&pEvent);
The following shows the equivalent call in C++:
pGraph->QueryInterface(IID_IMediaEvent, (void **)&pEvent);
In C, interfaces are defined as structures. The lpVtbl member is a pointer to a table of interface methods (the vtable). All methods take an additional parameter, which is a pointer to the interface.
