IGraphBuilder::Render method

Applies to: desktop apps only

The Render method builds a filter graph that renders the data from a specified output pin.

Syntax

Copy

HRESULT Render(
  [in]  IPin *ppinOut
);

Parameters

ppinOut [in]: Pointer to the IPin interface on an output pin.

Return value

Returns an HRESULT. Possible values include the following.

Return code	Description
S_OK	Success.
VFW_S_AUDIO_NOT_RENDERED	Partial success; the audio was not rendered.
VFW_S_DUPLICATE_NAME	Success; the Filter Graph Manager modified a filter name to avoid duplication.

Remarks

This method renders the data from a specified output pin, adding new filters to the graph as needed. Filters are tried in the same order as for the IGraphBuilder::Connect method. For more information, see Intelligent Connect.

During the connection process, the Filter Graph Manager ignores pins on intermediate filters if the pin name begins with a tilde (~). For more information, see PIN_INFO.
