This is the interface for the LEAD Video Image Overlay Filter.
Describes a region in a layer.
typedef [v1_enum] enum RegionConstants{REGION_NONE = 0,REGION_RECT = 1,REGION_ROUNDRECT = 2,REGION_ELLIPSE = 3,} RegionConstants;
The layer has no region.
The layer has a rectangular region.
The layer has a round rectangular region.
The layer has an elliptical region.
Constants that define the supported layer types. These will be used to identify the layer to be acted upon in the ILMVIovly interface properties and methods.
typedef [v1_enum] enum LayerTypeConstants{LAYERTYPE_BACKGROUND = 0,LAYERTYPE_VIDEO = 1,LAYERTYPE_OVERLAYIMAGE = 2} LayerTypeConstants;
The background layer is a solid color.
The video stream connected to pin 0. This layer must exist (the first pin of the filter must be connected), in order for the filter to work.
The overlay image layer: An ordinary bitmap, icon, or cursor.
Constants that define the method used to specify the output size.
typedef [v1_enum] enum OutputSizeTypeConstants{OUTPUTSIZETYPE_AUTO = 0,OUTPUTSIZETYPE_CUSTOM = 1} OutputSizeTypeConstants;
The output size is the same as the size of the input stream. The output width/height is the same as the input width/height of the input stream. In this case, the OutputWidth and OutputHeight properties are ignored.
The output size is indicated by the OutputWidth and OutputHeight properties.
Lists the valid values for the ApiLevel parameter that can be passed to the ResetToDefaultsEx method.
typedef [v1_enum] enum LMVOverlay_APILEVEL{LMVOverlay_APILEVEL_1 = 0,} LMVOverlay_APILEVEL;
Use the defaults from the current version of the overlay filter.
| Type | Name | Parameter Description | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| long | ActiveLayersCount | None | Gets the number of active layers. An active layer is an available layer. |
| VARIANT_BOOL | IsLayerActive(LayerTypeConstants LayerType) | LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer to test. | Determines whether the specified layer is active. |
| long | LayerOrder (LayerTypeConstants LayerType) | LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to get the order. | Gets or sets a value that indicates the specified layer's order. The order range is from 0 to 3, where 0 indicates most distant position. |
| OutputSizeTypeConstants | OutputSizeType | None | Specifies the method used to control the output size. The default is OUTPUTSIZETYPE_AUTO. |
| long | OutputWidth | None | Specifies the output width. Used only if OutputSizeType is set to OUTPUTSIZETYPE_CUSTOM. If set to 0, the output width is the same as the input width. In this case, the width is calculated as if OutputSizeType was set to OUTPUTSIZETYPE_AUTO. The default is 0. |
| long | OutputHeight | None | Specifies the output height. Used only if OutputSizeType is set to OUTPUTSIZETYPE_CUSTOM. If set to 0, the output height is the same as the input height. In this case, the height is calculated as if OutputSizeType was set to OUTPUTSIZETYPE_AUTO. The default is 0. |
| BSTR | OverlayImageFileName | None | Gets or sets the name of the image file used as the overlay image layer. The image should be a 24-bpp Windows BMP file or an Icon file. Pass NULL to free the loaded image. |
| long | OverlayImageDIBPointer | None | Sets a pointer to a device independent bitmap to be used as the overlay image layer. This overlay image handle pointer can be obtained using the LoadImage API; it is actually a bitmap handle, HBITMAP. |
| VARIANT_BOOL | IsOverlayImageLoaded | None | Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the image used as the overlay image layer is loaded. |
| long | BkLayerColor | None | Gets or sets the color of the background layer. |
| VARIANT_BOOL | EnableMaskBitmap(LayerTypeConstants LayerType) | LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to enable or disable the mask bitmap. | Enables or disables the mask bitmap feature for the specified layer. When the mask bitmap is used for a layer, this layers opacity and transparency properties will be ignored. |
| BSTR | MaskImageFileName(LayerTypeConstants LayerType) | LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to get or set the file name of the mask bitmap. | Gets or sets the file name of the mask image to be used for the specified layer. The mask image must be an 8-bpp gray scale Windows BMP file. Pass NULL to free the loaded image. |
| long | MaskImageDIBPointer(LayerTypeConstants LayerType) | LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to set the DIB pointer. | Sets a pointer to a device independent bitmap to be used as the mask image for the specified layer. This pointer can be obtained using the LoadImage API; it is actually a bitmap handle, HBITMAP. |
| VARIANT_BOOL | IsMaskImageLoaded(LayerTypeConstants LayerType) | LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to determine whether the mask image is loaded. | Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the mask image for the specified layer is loaded. |
| VARIANT_BOOL | EnableOpacity(LayerTypeConstants LayerType) | LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to enable or disable opacity. | Enables or disables the opacity feature of the specified layer. When the opacity feature is enabled for a layer, the transparency feature for this layer is ignored. |
| long | Opacity(LayerTypeConstants LayerType) | LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to get or set the opacity. | Gets or sets the opacity, as a percentage, for the specified layer. |
| VARIANT_BOOL | EnableTransparency(LayerTypeConstants LayerType) | LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to enable or disable transparency. | Enables or disables the transparency feature for the specified layer. When transparency is enabled for a layer, the Opacity property for this layer is ignored. |
| long | TransparentColor(LayerTypeConstants LayerType) | LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to get or set the transparent color. | Gets or sets the transparent color for the specified layer. |
| long | XPos(LayerTypeConstants LayerType) | LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to get or set the X coordinate of the position. | Gets or sets the X coordinate of the position of the specified layer.

Resets the filter to default values.
Indicates which defaults should be used. Current applications should set ApiLevel to LMVOverlay_APILEVEL_1 = 0.
The overlay filter might change in the future and have different properties or default behavior. Calling this method ensures the filter will have the same default values it had when you developed your application.
It is best to call ResetToDefaultsEx(LMVOverlay_APILEVEL_1) before setting properties and calling other methods for this interface.
