EditGraph Method

Summary

Registers the current graph and runs the DirectShow GraphEdit utility.

Syntax

C++

public virtual void EditGraph()

Public Overridable Sub EditGraph()

public: 
virtual void EditGraph();

Remarks

This method will display a modal dialog box indicating that the graph has been registered. The current thread is suspended during this time. The toolkit then attempts to invoke the GraphEdit utility from the DirectShow SDK. You can use GraphEdit's "Connect" menu option to view the registered graph. When done, exit GraphEdit, and click on the dialog's OK button to continue program execution.

Example
