IltmmMediaInfo::get_SourceFilter

#include "ltmm.h"

C Syntax	HRESULT IltmmMediaInfo_get_SourceFilter(pMediaInfo, SrcFilter)
C++ Syntax	HRESULT get_SourceFilter(SrcFilter)

 

IltmmMediaInfo *pMediaInfo;	/* pointer to an interface */
IUnknown **SrcFilter;	/* pointer to a pointer */

Retrieves the filter of the current source media file.

Parameter	Description
pMediaInfo	Pointer to an IltmmMediaInfo Interface.
SrcFilter	Pointer to a variable to be updated with the filter's interface pointer.

Returns

S_OK	The function was successful.
<> S_OK	An error occurred. Refer to the Error Codes or the HRESULT error codes in the DirectShow documentation.

Comments

If the function succeeds, the caller must free the interface referenced by the SrcFilter parameter by calling the interface's Release function.

To get the current source media file, call IltmmMediaInfo::get_SourceFile.

The current source media file, set using IltmmMediaInfo::put_SourceFile, is the file for which the IltmmMediaInfo interface/object gets information. This function must be called before calling any of the other IltmmMediaInfo functions used for retrieving information.

Call IltmmMediaInfo::ResetSource to release the source file when it is no longer needed.
