FILTER_INFO structure (strmif.h)

  • Article

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 FILTER_INFO structure contains information about a filter.

Syntax

typedef struct _FilterInfo {
  WCHAR        achName[128];
  IFilterGraph *pGraph;
} FILTER_INFO;

Members

achName[128]

Null-terminated string containing the name of the filter.

pGraph

If the filter is member of a filter graph, contains a pointer to the filter graph's IFilterGraph interface. If the filter is not a member of a filter graph, this value of this member is NULL.

Remarks

If the pGraph member is not NULL, the application should release the IFilterGraph interface when it is finished using it.
