IFilterInfo.Filter

  • Article

Note  This topic is deprecated. It applies to Visual Basic 6.0. DirectShow is not supported for Visual Basic .NET or C#.

The Filter property retrieves the filter associated with this object.

objFilterInfo.Filter As Unknown

Parameters

This property takes no parameters.

Return Value

Returns the filter.

Remarks

The IFilterInfo object is a wrapper for a DirectShow filter, because DirectShow filters expose the IBaseFilter interface, which is not Automation-compatible. This property returns the underlying filter as an IUnknown pointer. There are no methods in the Quartz.dll type library that can take this object as a parameter. It is provided for use with DLLs that take an IBaseFilter parameter. Also, it might be useful if you write your own Automation-compliant COM wrapper object for DirectShow.

This property is read-only.

Requirements

Type Library

 ActiveMovie control type library

DLL

 Quartz.dll
