IBasicVideo::put_SourceTop method (control.h)

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 put_SourceTop method sets the y-coordinate of the source rectangle.

Syntax

HRESULT put_SourceTop(
  [in] long SourceTop
);

Parameters

[in] SourceTop

Specifies the y-coordinate, in pixels.

Return value

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include the following.

Return code Description
E_INVALIDARG
Invalid argument.
S_OK
Success.
VFW_E_NOT_CONNECTED
The video renderer's input pin is not connected.

Remarks

This method moves the entire source rectangle up or down. It does not change the height of the source rectangle. If the value of SourceTop would place the bottom edge of the rectangle beyond the edge of the video frame, the method returns E_INVALIDARG. To crop the video, call put_SourceHeight to adjust the width, before calling put_SourceTop. (Or call SetSourcePosition to set the entire source rectangle at once.)
