IMediaDet::get_StreamTypeB

The get_StreamTypeB method retrieves a string representing the GUID of the media type for the current stream.

Syntax

  HRESULT get_StreamTypeB(
    BSTR *pVal
);

Parameters

pVal

[out, retval] Pointer to a BSTR that receives a string representation of the media type GUID.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include the following:

Value Description
S_OK Success.

Remarks

The returned BSTR is formatted like the following: {73647561-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}

The method allocates memory for the string. The application must call SysFreeString to free the memory.

Before calling this method, set the file name and stream by calling IMediaDet::put_Filename and IMediaDet::put_CurrentStream.

If the media detector is in bitmap grab mode, this method returns E_INVALIDARG. For more information, see IMediaDet::EnterBitmapGrabMode.
