'Declaration

Public Overridable Function GetPreferredFilter( _
   ByVal filterType As PreferredFilter _
) As String

   PreferredFilter filterType
)

Parameters

filterType: A PreferredFilter enumeration value specifying the desired filter type

Return Value

A string of a filter's display name.

This method can be used to determine whether a preferred filter has been set by SetPreferredFilter. It will return NULL (if no preferred filter has been set) or a display name indicating the preferred filter.

A display name uniquely identifies the filter. Display names have the following format:

@device:sw:GUID\GUID

For example, the display name for the LEAD MPEG2 Transport Demultiplexer is: @device:sw:{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\{E2B7DF1A-38C5-11D5-91F6-00104BDB8FF9}

A list of display names for common filters can be found in Constants.PreferredFilters.

Please see SetPreferredFilter for more information on filter display names.
