CBaseFilter.EnumPins method

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The EnumPins method enumerates the pins on this filter. This method implements the IBaseFilter::EnumPins method.

Syntax

HRESULT EnumPins(
   IEnumPins **ppEnum
);

Parameters

ppEnum

Address of a variable that receives a pointer to the IEnumPins interface.

Return value

Returns one of the following HRESULT values.

Remarks

This method creates an instance of the CEnumPins base class, and returns a pointer to that object, of type IEnumPins. The CEnumPins class calls the filter's CBaseFilter::GetPin method to enumerate the pins on the filter.

If this method succeeds, the IEnumPins interface has an outstanding reference count. The caller must release the interface.
