IMediaBuffer::GetBufferAndLength (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This method retrieves the buffer and the size of the valid data in the buffer.

Syntax

HRESULT GetBufferAndLength(
  BYTE** ppBuffer, 
  DWORD* pcbLength
);

Parameters

  • ppBuffer
    [out] Address of a pointer that receives the buffer array. The ppBuffer parameter can be NULL if pcbLength is not NULL.
  • pcbLength
    [out] Pointer to a variable that receives the size of the valid data, in bytes. The pcbLength parameter can be NULL if ppBuffer is not NULL.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include the following.

Value Description

S_OK

Retrieved the requested number of items

E_POINTER

NULL pointer argument

Remarks

Either parameter can be NULL, in which case it does not receive a value. At least one parameter must be non-NULL. If both parameters are NULL, the method returns E_POINTER.

The value returned in the pcbLength parameter is the size of the valid data in the buffer, not the buffer's allocated size. To obtain the buffer's allocated size, call the IMediaBuffer::GetMaxLength method.

Requirements

Header dmo.h
Library Dmoguid.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE .NET 4.1 and later
