long XPos Sets or gets the text X position.
long YPos Sets or gets the text Y position.
VARIANT_BOOL EnableTextFromFile Enables or disables getting the overlay text from a file. To use the OverlayText property, set this property to VARIANT_FALSE. If this property is set to VARIANT_TRUE, then the TextFileName property must contain a valid file name.
BSTR TextFileName Sets or gets the LEADTOOLS XML file name that contains the overlay text with special tags.See the Text Overlay XML File Format for more information on valid tags and how to use them.

Methods

HRESULT ResetToDefaults()

Description

Reset the text overly option values to the default values.

HRESULT LoadAttributes()

Description

Loads transform settings from the registry. The Media Foundation transforms import the settings from the registry only at creation time. This method will force the transform to re-load its settings from the registry. If the transform has no settings to load from the registry, E_NOTIMPL is returned.

Returns

S_OK if successful, S_FALSE otherwise.

HRESULT SaveAttributes()

Description

Writes transform settings to the registry.

If the transform has no settings to write to the registry, E_NOTIMPL is returned.

Returns

S_OK if successful, S_FALSE otherwise.
