IltmmFilterEnum::put_Enable

#include "ltmm.h"

C Syntax	HRESULT IltmmFilterEnum_put_Enable(pInput, Name, newVal)
C++ Syntax	HRESULT put_Enable(Name, newVal)

IltmmFilterEnumt *pInput;	pointer to an interface
BSTR Name	string
VARIANT_BOOL newVal;	flag

Enables or disables a Directshow filter.

Parameter	Description
pInput	Pointer to an IltmmFilterEnum Interface.
Name	Name is a string that can show either the Display Name or the Friendly Name of the filter. It is better to use Display Name since display names are unique. Two filters can be different and yet still have the same Friendly Name. When two Friendly Names are used, this function works on the first filter it internally enumerates with the specified friendly name.
newVal	Flag that indicates whether to enable or disable the audio input. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	VARIANT_TRUE	Enable the input.
	VARIANT_FALSE	Disable the input.

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

A DirectShow filter is enabled if its Merit is above 0x00200000. Otherwise it is disabled.

Merit values are used when building filter graphs. For more information, refer to the Microsoft documentation for DirectShow Merit.

A Display Name uniquely identifies a Directshow filter (or any filter). Display names for software filters have the following format:

@device:sw:GUID\\GUID

For example, Microsofts MPEG-2 Splitter display name is:

@device:sw:{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\\{3AE86B20-7BE8-11D1-ABE6-00A0C905F375}.

Since a Friendly Name is not unique there can be more than one filter with the same name. Despite this, it is useful as a descriptive name in user interfaces. For example, the Friendly Name for Microsofts MPEG-2 Splitter is

MPEG-2 Splitter
