REGFILTERPINS2 structure (strmif.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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 REGFILTERPINS2 structure contains information for registering a filter through the IFilterMapper2 interface.

Syntax

typedef struct REGFILTERPINS2 {
  DWORD              dwFlags;
  UINT               cInstances;
  UINT               nMediaTypes;
  const REGPINTYPES  *lpMediaType;
  UINT               nMediums;
  const REGPINMEDIUM *lpMedium;
  const CLSID        *clsPinCategory;
} REGFILTERPINS2;
